Third time posted on here, but yes, very interesting footage.

However, the man in the white car is most definitely not Colonel Tom, as some have suggested.

Nice footage . Just see where Graceland was when EP bought it.
Qiute a difference now.

The man in the car doesn't look like anyone I remember either.

I think it's Elvis' Uncle.

I think it's Elvis' Uncle.

I think you're right .
He does have the look of Vester and some of the Presleys . Thanks.

I think it's Elvis' Uncle.

You mean Vester?

I haven't seen any pics of him earlier than the 1970s when he was thinner, so maybe it is him. Whoever it is, he has the look of a Presley.

I can't believe anyone thought it was The Colonel ...

Its not vester , vester as getlo says was only very slim.

It doesn't matter what it says on YouTube.

It's wrong ... that ain't The Colonel.

It's not worth arguing about. But, I agree with you. It sure doesn't look like Parker.
Nor can we believe everything said on YouTube.

Thanks for sharing! I didn't know Elvis had a tractor
Was there always so many kids hanging around Graceland?

Rover fans camped outside graceland just so they wouldn't miss seeing elvis.

Funny to see the gates were red at that time
When did he changed them???

Everything is worth arguing about if it serves the purpose of getting to the truth and preventing more myths, rumours and exaggerations from entering Elvis folklore!

The gates at Graceland were changed to the famous music gates some time in April 1957. They were originally supplied by Doors Inc of Memphis.

They have been replaced at least two times since then.

It will be nice if we can find out some how who it is , but i suppose we will never really know.
