Icons proudly presents Elvis Presley's Ltd. Ed. 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C 'Spinout' Die Cast Model 1:24 the new, highest quality, most detailed 1:24 scale die-cast Elvis replica cars available anywhere in the world, meticulously detailed from the actual cars themselves along with exhaustive research of the EPE artifacts archives. Designed and built from the beginning to be authentic in every way, correctly showing the exact look, flair and features Elvis personally wanted and had customized in the original car

This is the car Elvis drove in the classic 'Spinout' movie. This car is a classic in itself and is a true race car in every sense. Designed by Carol Shelby, this 'competition' version Cobra was a perfect fit for Elvis' good looks and need for speed. Playing a race car driver again, Elvis Presley stars as dashing Mike McCoy in Spinout. Mike fronts a popular singing group, and he is also the defending champion on the racing circuit.

Fast cars are not nearly as dangerous for Mike as beautiful women, all of whom want to race him down the aisle to marriage. Les, played by perky Deborah Walley, works as the drummer in Mike's band, and she is extremely jealous of his attention toward other women. Also vying for Mike's affection is sophisticated Cynthia Foxhugh, played by Shelley Fabares, who is the daughter of wealthy auto magnate Howard Foxhugh. Finally, representing the intellectual type is writer Diana St. Clair, played by Diane McBain, who falls in love with Mike while finishing her book 'The Perfect American Male'. This film began with the working title of 'Never Say Yes'. In January 1966 producer Joe Pasternak asked Elvis' manager Colonel Tom Parker if he had any suggestions for a better title. Parker came up with 'Jim Dandy' and 'Clambake'. Other titles considered were 'Never Say No', 'Never Say Yes' and 'After Midnight'. In Britain it was finally released as 'California Holiday', while in the U.S. they ended up using 'Spinout' and saving 'Clambake' to use for a later film.

Elvis Presley Video Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD

Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.

This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.

The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
