Elvis Presley 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine Auction

The King’s Limousine Up For Auction? Elvis Presley’s Cadillac Limo is estimated at $100,000 – 150,000 USD and comes w/ original documentation, signed manual & tools.

Here’s some really cool limo news … Bonhams is auctioning Elvis Presley’s 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood limousine on November 12, 2011. This is the very Cadillac that “the King” used to drive his band around in throughout Southern USA when he was starting out. Rumor is the band traveled by “strapping their instruments to the roof of the car!” Elvis Presley’s Cadillac Fleetwood limousine is owned by a Texan collector which has the January 1955 documentation to show that Elvis needed his father to co-signed for the car (we all have to start somewhere). Bet they didn’t know it would increase in value so much!

Cadillac Fleetwood 75 Limousine Chassis no. 557547481

Steve Jobs Died At Age 56 October 5, 2011

It is a sad day at Apple, Inc and offices across the world.

We were deeply saddened to read the news about Steve Job’s death on Google.  The Apple CEO and co-founder, Steve Jobs, died of pancreatic cancer today at just 56 years old and just a few days before the release of the new iPhone 4S.  Steve Jobs’s death was announced by Apple, his wife and Tim Cook:

“Team, I have some very sad news to share with all of you. Steve passed away earlier today. Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple. We are planning a celebration of Steve’s extraordinary life for Apple employees that will take place soon. If you would like to share your thoughts, memories and condolences in the interim, you can simply email rememberingsteve@apple.com. No words can adequately express our sadness at Steve’s death or our gratitude for the opportunity to work with him. We will honor his memory by dedicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much. Tim”

Steve Jobs is up there with all of the “greats” visionaries, Bill Gates (Microsoft), Larry Page (Google), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), the world will morn his loss for years to come. President Obama had it right when he stated that “The world has lost a visionary” and “there may be no greater tribute to Steve’s success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented.” There are decades of technological inventions with Jobs stamp of approval, we hope that Apple, Inc. will continue on just as strong in his name.

Steve Jobs (1955-2011)
