The Concours Virtual, a world-class Concours d\u2019Elegance, allows spectators the joy of being involved without leaving their own home.\u00a0 Just this week they announced the winner of the Hollywood Legends class.<\/p>\n

The cars within this class are unique in that they are required to have a proven connection to any Hollywood film Legends- be it an actor, director or producer.<\/p>\n

The cars were judged on the validity and strength of the connection to the Hollywood legend in question.<\/p>\n

The winner of Class B was a stunning 1957 BMW 507<\/a> owned by Elvis Presley<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Elvis Presley bought the used BMW in Frankfurt, Germany in December 1958, after starting his military service.<\/p>\n

With the huge success of ‘The King’s” music, female fans could not keep their hands off his car. Girls would write messages in his chalk-white paint job with lipstick.\u00a0 Wanting to keep his paint work in one colour, he changed his roadster to red.<\/p>\n

It was repainted back to white in colour more recently. The fully restored car was unveiled during the Concours d\u2019Elegance<\/a> in Pebble Beach, California in 2016.<\/p>\n
