Elvis Presley’s 1962 Lockheed JetStar Heads to Auction

What’s Next for the JetStar?

Because it won’t fly again without extensive — and likely prohibitive — restoration, new owners face choices: preserve it as a static display, convert it for alternate uses (from exhibit piece to themed attraction), or even imagine creative repurposing in line with its iconic status.

For collectors, Elvis fans and aviation history buffs alike, the auction of this 1962 Lockheed JetStar is more than a sale — it’s a final encore for a jet that once carried one of music’s greatest legends across the skies. (Boing Boing)
