Thread: Jumpsuit Expo Opened

  1. #1

    Jumpsuit Expo Opened



    Jumpsuit Expo Opened


    After Graceland, the highlight of the next two years will be without any doubt the 'Sincerely Elvis Museum'.

    There are not less than 56 jumpsuits on display. Duke, citizen of Memphis and reporter for our collegue's at Elvis Express Radio visted the expo and was overwhelmed.

    The suits are placed in a timeline, starting with 1969 and ending with the baby blue suit that Elvis would never where in 1977.

    Sources inside EPE confirm that they own 88 jumpsuits: 56 in this expo, 10 in the racquetball building, 3 in the trophy room and 2 in the Afterdark expo.

    That means that there are still 17 suits that are left in the vaults.

    I am pretty sure that they have one Jumpsuit from 1970, I think it was just before TTWII, on display at Hard Rock Caf? in Hollywood. Does anybody have any information about that suit? I havent been there for a while...

    Its at Graceland Plaza across the street from the mansion. It just opened so in September it wasn't there for you to see. I hope to see it on my June trip.


    I'm almost as interested to see how nice a job they do with the Catalog that Graceland is putting out for sale on the exhibit, as the exhibit itself. If they do a nice job that could be a treasure for some of the fans around here who are really into that era of Elvis career.
