Elvis Presley’s 1962 private jet has finally been sold, and the interior is breathtaking.

Elvis Presley’s Jet: A Glimpse into His Luxurious Style

Elvis Presley wasn’t just known for his music and style; he also had a great eye for interior design. His Lockheed Jetstar plane, purchased in 1962, shows just how much he appreciated luxury. The aircraft featured beautiful hardwood panels, plush carpet, and crimson velvet chairs. Elvis owned the plane for over 35 years, until his death in 1977.

A Reflection of Elvis’s Lifestyle

Elvis’s jet was part of a larger collection of private planes, including the Convair 880 “Lisa Marie” and another JetStar called “Hound Dog 2.” These planes reflected his extravagant lifestyle. After Elvis passed, the Jetstar remained parked in Roswell, New Mexico, for more than 30 years. While the plane’s exterior paint faded over time, the interior was still in good condition.

A Luxurious Interior

Inside, the Jetstar was a luxurious space. It featured red velvet chairs, wooden paneling, and even a “high-tech” television. The plane had a spacious main room and a small kitchen, complete with a microwave. The restroom was also designed with velvet accents, and there was a stylish sink. The whole interior showcased Elvis’s taste for the finer things.

The Plane’s Auction

In January, the iconic Jetstar was auctioned at the Florida Mecum Kissimmee Collector Car Sale, where it sold for $260,000. The buyer, who made their bid by phone, remains unknown. This sale marked the end of an era for one of Elvis’s most personal possessions, but his taste for luxury is still clear in the design of this unique aircraft.

Elvis’s private jet continues to be a symbol of his lavish lifestyle and love for travel in style.
