Elvis Presley Gold Comb from George Barris Custom Limo
This unique item is a golden-colored aluminum comb that once belonged to the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley. The comb was placed in the 1960 Cadillac limousine that was customized by legendary car designer George Barris.

Barris, known as the "King of Customizers," had a reputation for creating over-the-top, luxurious vehicles. When he learned that Elvis was a fan of his work, he went all out to customize the Cadillac. Barris even acquired Elvis's personal comb and replaced it with a golden-plated version, telling the singer that he would replace the comb with some "very fine golden crumbs."

The golden comb remained in the Cadillac limousine, a symbol of Elvis's extravagant lifestyle and Barris's legendary craftsmanship. The car itself was a masterpiece of customization, with everything from the interior to the television set plated in gold. This golden comb is a tangible piece of Elvis Presley history, offering a glimpse into the world of one of the most iconic figures in music.

This incredible collection comes from Elvis Aaron Presley Jr., who was very close friends with Colonel Parker (Elvis Presley's longtime manager) for decades. He gifted many of these items to Elvis Aaron Presley Jr. These items have been maintained in Junior's collection for decades and now is the first opportunity for the general public and collectors to own his cherished collection.

Elvis Aaron Presley Jr. was managed by four of Elvis Presley Senior's managers, and was the biggest headliner in Las Vegas, earning over $25,000 per show.
