The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Tons 'o Fun elvis presley 1 ton panel

Saw a show the other night called Americarna they show this, 1948 1 ton delivery panel in storage from graceland say elvis, used it to sneak out the back gate, maybe so
However my question is, the guy said,they only knew, of 1
Other 1 ton delivery that exists today what about this, you guys will know if that's, right I have a, hard time . Believing that there's only one other one anywhere ,maybe I am wrong but that's the story just thought I would find, out from the guys, who know ??

As we know, what they are referring-to as a "panel van" would be a panel truck.

It is an older model (probable 1948, as they state) that has an 1954/55 hood bird (Elvis probably got it before it was released to the public).

Elvis "Van" - at about minute 3:30

Does anyone know a link to the entire episode/show? The link above is to an interview with the show host.

Here are a few other examples of the only one still in existence? (I recall someone saying that only 300 were made?)

I don't know, but I don't think the presleys had any money in 1948 however they did say in the show, that his . Dad, was the, one . Who got it be interesting to know, the story though
Only 300 made, huh that would make it pretty rare,

Only 300 made is a joke on what is often placed in for-sale ads.

Saying only 300 made is a stupid/silly as saying they only know of 1 in existence today.

Obviously they do not know much about how many are in existence today, and they do not know the correct name of that model "Panel truck" (not a "panel van", which could also be mistaken to mean a sedan delivery "van").

As usual, I am just being a jerk about trying to use correct/meaningful terms/names.

Yeah I wondered where, he was, getting his, production figures ,the show was mainly about the last car elvis ever drove they showed several of his cars I guess this, guy is the one who keeps the presley cars maintained,

Panel or rare sedan delivery starts at about 16.25

Elvis' "rare" panel

"Only one other known to exist" Yeah right.

The motor doesn't look correct to me. Isnt that a later model valve cover?

Guy said they'd been searching the Web for about 5 years for another "one ton" sedan delivery- no wonder he can't find one!

The motor does have the later model valve cover. The guy described the panel as being exactly as it came from the factory!
