This is a story of Elvis Presley’s BMW 507 restoration, from finding the rusted shell in San Francisco, to the actual restoration by BMW Classic in Munich using Celette equipment and to the debut of the finished car at the Pebble Beach Concourse.
“The opportunity to bring back the BMW 507 owned by the King of Rock’n’Roll to us here in Munich for purposes of restoration in accordance with the wishes of the previous owner, Jack Castor, was a dream come true for all those involved,” commented Ulrich Knieps, Head of BMW Group Classic. “This was an exceptionally fascinating project. The outcome is not simply a source of great pride to us. Jack would undoubtedly have been delighted by the outcome.”
