1968 Chrysler Imperial Crown Convertible Driven by Elvis Presley to Cross the Block in Palm Springs

1968 Chrysler Imperial Crown Convertible Driven by Elvis Presley to Cross the Block in Palm Springs

Palm Springs, CA — A remarkable piece of Hollywood and Elvis Presley history is headed to the block at McCormick’s Palm Springs Exotic Car Auctions this November: a 1968 Chrysler Imperial Crown Convertible famously driven by Elvis Presley in the MGM film Live a Little, Love a Little.

One of just 474 Imperial Crown Convertibles produced for 1968, the final year of Imperial soft-top production, this unrestored example offers an extraordinary combination of rarity, Hollywood history and provenance. The car was personally driven on screen by Elvis and comes with an impressive collection of documentation, including the original MGM asset card, original bill of sale, and a 1988 letter from Graceland acknowledging the car’s authenticity as a film-used Elvis vehicle and expressing interest in acquiring it for the Elvis auto museum.

The car is now returning to the desert for its next chapter—crossing the block in Palm Springs, where Elvis famously honeymooned. It represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of American automotive and entertainment history with a direct connection to The King. Here's a clip from the movie and the car in action - YouTube

McCormick’s Palm Springs Exotic Car Auctions will hold its next live auction November 20–22, 2026, at the Palm Springs Convention Center.
