Jeep Driven by Elvis is Crossing the Auction Block
The 1965 Jeep CJ Tuxedo Park Edition that starred in Tickle Me is heading to auction.
The Jeep was driven by Elvis Presley in the movie, which also starred Nancy Sinatra, and will cross the auction block on Saturday, May 27, in Midland, Texas. The Dan Kruse Classics auction is partnering with Flat 12 Gallery to offer other screen-used and celebrity-driven classic vehicles including the 1973 Chevrolet Chevelle driven by Ryan Gosling in Drive, a 1999 Buell Motorcycle from Ghost Rider ridden by Nicolas Cage, and a 1972 Chevrolet Camaro built and customized by Kevin Dillon from Entourage.
