Peace for Pits Rescue Pin-Up Girls to Appear at Volo Auto Museum

Celebrating the release of our 2015 calendar with a calendar signing and Pin-Up Girls appearance at the museum's Elvis 80TH Birthday Event

Chicago, IL: On December 26th, 20014, at 12:30pm, the Volo Auto Museum will be unveiling their latest acquisition; Elvis Presley’s 1974 custom-built pink topped Cadillac station wagon. The one of a kind car hasn’t been seen since Elvis’s death in 1977. It was sold to a private collector and members of the public have not been able to lay eyes on this unique automobile in nearly 40 years.

Until now. With what would have been Elvis’s 80th birthday coming up on January 8th, fans will have the opportunity to see the car up close at the museum.

The museum will also be holding an Elvis dress alike contest. Anyone dressed as Elvis from December 26th through the end of January could win $1,000.00! All you need to do to be eligible is visit the museum in your best Elvis costume. The museum staff will take your picture and upload it, along with all the rest of the photos of the Elvis look-alikes, to their Facebook page on the 1st of February. The Elvis with the most likes on Facebook by Feb 14th wins!
