Live Show Headlines Elvis Celebration at Volo Museum – Shaw Local

VOLO – Prepare to be amazed, Elvis enthusiasts! The Volo Museum is hosting an extraordinary celebration of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s remarkable life on Sunday, August 20. Not only will visitors be treated to a live tribute show by the talented Elvis performer Travis Morris, but they will also have the incredible opportunity to have their photo taken in front of the iconic pink and white custom-made Cadillac station wagon that Elvis himself ordered back in 1974. And for the very first time, the Volo Museum is holding a raffle where one lucky winner will get to experience a ride in Elvis’ personal Cadillac, accompanied by the amazing Elvis impersonator, Travis Morris.

“We are absolutely delighted to have such a rare and magnificent piece of Elvis history in our collection,” expressed Jim Wojdyla, the museum’s marketing director. “The car, which Elvis patiently waited months for after placing a custom order, must have brought him immense joy when he finally drove away in his one-of-a-kind vehicle. Now, nearly five decades later, we are thrilled to offer Elvis fans the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience this extraordinary car.”

Featuring a distinctive clamshell tailgate, the station wagon was designed for convenience, allowing easy transportation of musical instruments, luggage, and personal belongings. Additionally, the car boasts the famous “TCB” logo and a lightning bolt near the driver’s side door. These letters represent Elvis’ cherished motto, “Taking Care of Business,” which can be found in a detailed car bio on the volofun.com website.

Following Elvis’ passing in August 1977, the station wagon was sold at an auction and remained hidden away in private collections until it resurfaced on Craigslist in 2014. The Volo Museum seized the opportunity to acquire the car and it quickly became one of the museum’s most popular exhibits. Fans of Elvis from all over the United States make the journey to Volo to catch a glimpse of this magnificent vehicle, according to Wojdyla.

“What better way to honor Elvis’ extraordinary life than enjoying captivating Elvis music against the backdrop of one of his most beloved possessions?” Wojdyla pondered. “And what a thrilling opportunity it is for the lucky individual who will have the chance to ride in Elvis’ Cadillac alongside Travis Morris.”

The live tribute performance by Travis Morris will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. on August 20, which is approximately 46 years after Elvis’ unfortunate passing on August 16, 1977, at his residence, Graceland.

Membership holders of the museum can attend the event for free, while nonmembers can gain entry either by paying regular admission fees or becoming members themselves.
