January 17th in Elvis History

It's January seventeenth, and on this day in 1967, Elvis Presley expanded his fleet—and his generosity—by purchasing a staggering eight vehicles in a single day for use at his newly acquired Circle G Ranch near Walls, Mississippi. The haul included one 1967 Chevy custom El Camino, two Dodges, and five Ford trucks, all intended for family and friends helping out on the property. This came as part of a larger vision Elvis had for building out the ranch into a private getaway and equestrian haven, complete with a riding ring and a growing collection of horses.
