Live Concert – Elvis Presley in 1977 !!!
|
This just makes me want to cry for him, sad
A piece of real history—-enjoy!!!!!!!
This song was sung on June 20th 1977 and Elvis died on the 18th of August 1977, 37 years ago. Somebody discovered this recording of the REAL ELVIS…
He had just recorded this song and it was not even on the market. Two weeks prior of this song coming out, he sang it for the first time in public…. You could see that he was not well. |

NINETY EIGHT YEARS AGO
A boy chained his bike to a tree, 98 years ago, then went to fight in WWI.
The tree is on Vashon Island, which is between Tacoma and Seattle Washington.
Quite amazing!

Stainless Steel Car
1936 Stainless Steel FordCompiled and forwarded by: Phil Masters.Canada.In 1935, officials at Allegheny Ludlum Steel Division and the Ford Motor Company collaborated on an experiment
that would become a legacy and a tribute to one of the most dynamic metals ever developed.Allegheny Ludlum, a pioneer producer of stainless steel, proposed the idea of creating a stainless steel car to Ford.The idea took shape in the form of a 1936 Deluxe Sedan.That car became the centerpiece of a campaign to expose the public to the new metal and its many uses.
This is the 1936 Ford Tudor Sedan built for and owned by Allegheny Ludlum Steel.
This is 1 of only 4 in existence and is the only one currently in running and in road worthy condition.The jaw-dropping beauty offered here is one of that tiny production run,recently restored by Lon Kruger, one of the world’s best restorers.The car utilizes the standard 221/85 HP flathead mated to a 3-speed manual and working Columbia overdrive,and has been driven just 18 miles since its restoration.The only privately owned example, it won 2 trophies at the Early V-8 Club Auburn 2009 event,First Place at the 2009 Hershey AACA event and was nominated for the 2009 AACA Car of the Year.
The car is in exceptional condition, with the interior and even the frame looking great.
All 4 cars each had over 200,000 miles on them before they removed them from service.These cars were built for Allegheny as promotional and marketing projects.
The top salesmen each year were given the honor of being able to drive them for one year.
The V-8 engine (max 85 hp) ran like a sewing machine and was surprisingly smooth and quiet.
I thought this was a much better looking automobile than the Ford Thunderbird that visited us last year.
FYI, the car was insured (we were told) for the trip to Louisville via covered trailer for $1.5 million.We were also told that the dies were ruined by stamping the stainless car parts, making these the last of these cars ever produced.
