Elvis Presley's BMW 507 has never looked better

After
two grueling years of work, BMW Classic is finally finished restoring the 507 roadster that once belonged to Elvis Presley. Now that it is restored to original condition, the vehicle will be on display at this year’s Concours d’Elegance in
Pebble Beach, CA, on August 18. The 507 will be in the exact same shape as when the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll took delivery of it on December 20, 1958.

Not only did BMW Group Classic bring the 507
back from the scrapyard, it also went to great measures to ensure that the classic was restored in an authentic manner. The vehicle was painted once again in Feather White. But the primer coat, filler, and top coat were applied using methods that were used roughly 60 years ago, giving the 507 a truly original shine.

The 150-horsepower 3.2-liter V8 was restored to its original spec, but utilizes a variety of old and new components. Other notable features include a black-and-white interior, center-lock rims, and a Becker Mexico radio. The 507 will be on display alongside numerous vintage BMWs as the company celebrates its centennial.
