Ken Palmer was cruising U.S. Highway 67 that day, returning to Texarkana from Hope. Elvis was driving his Cadillac from Hope to Texarkana after he performed his rock 'n' roll show Sunday, June 5, 1955, in the Hope Municipal Auditorium. And he wasn't alone, though no one has officially confirmed the identity of the woman riding with Elvis to Texarkana. Authors reporting on the burned car wrote Elvis looked desolate watching his Cadillac burn. Palmer was at an historic moment in the stories of early rock 'n' roll. Patsy Green of New Boston, Texas, mailed Palmer a copy of the Texarkana Gazette section about "U.S. 67 The Highway to Rock 'n' Roll." The section was published Nov. 24 of last year and had a story about the fire which destroyed the Cadillac. Palmer, who now lives in Sandusky, Mi., called the Gazette and confirmed he helped Elvis pull items from the burning car. He also gave Elvis and the young woman a ride to Texarkana. The fire occurred on U.S. Highway 67 near Fulton and a "long bridge," Palmer said. "I was just goofing off and was driving back from Hope to Texarkana on the Fulton bottom bridge and saw the car smoking," Palmer said. When he stopped, he had no idea the car belonged to Elvis. "He left the emergency brake on and the brake fluid caught on fire. The smoke was coming from the trunk. The other stories said smoke was coming from the engine, but it was the trunk," Palmer said. "I was the first guy who got there. Elvis kept yelling it's going to blow. He got his girlfriend away from the car," he said. The fuel tank was full and kept the car from exploding, Palmer speculates. "If the fuel tank had been half empty, it would have exploded," said Palmer, who was stationed at the Red River Army Depot. The trunk was full of equipment, he said. "We got his guitar out and the amps. He got the money box out. I pulled out an amp from the back seat in the floorboard," Palmer said. ADVERTISEMENT "Elvis tried to put the fire out with a fire extinguisher, but he couldn't get to where the fire was starting to burn," said Palmer, who was 21 in 1955. The fire started consuming the car and Elvis told Palmer he had a $500 movie camera in the glove box. "We couldn't get to the glove box and the camera burned up," Palmer said. Elvis and the young woman rode with Palmer to Texarkana and stopped at a cafe next to a motel. Elvis knew the band was supposed to meet him at the cafe. "The band was there and had no idea the car burned. Elvis offered me $5, but I wouldn't take it. He offered to buy me coffee and I let him buy me coffee," Palmer said. "We talked some. It was fun. That was the end of it," he said. The Cadillac was used as the primary vehicle to take Elvis and his guitar player Scotty Moore and bass player Bill Black to their scheduled shows. On that night, Moore and Black used another car to get to Texarkana while Elvis drove his Cadillac. The destruction of the Cadillac has become part of the folklore about the connection between Elvis and his mother, Gladys. Gladys always recalled how she was awakened out of a sound sleep at home by the felling something was wrong. She always said she could sense when bad things were about to happen to her son.
Eu estive pensando sobre isso. Obrigado pelo seu conselho. Em meus outros vídeos, algumas pessoas apenas copiam e colam informações da internet e me dizem que não tenho todas as informações incluídas no vídeo. Como posso 😅? Eu só posso postar clipe de 1 minuto para Shorts!
I think that’s what she said except for the fact, according to yours, that Elvis left the parking brake. I don’t think that’s true. How do you even know that’s the causes of the problem? Overheating is one of the primary factors that leads to brake damage and eventual failure. I’m not saying THAT’S what causes it, but could be a possibility.
@@kennettelopez58 because the people with Elvis Sayed Elvis was taking a girl for a Ride and Left parking brake on cause car to catch on fire and ts on video person saying that
@@bobbyhall1305 I could be wrong, but I read a lot of Elvis books and I don’t think I’ve seen any of them mentioned the cause of the fire coming from Elvis leaving the parking brake. I think what’s important to know is the the car caught on fire from a brake lining problem and the video did cover it. Period. I would get ANGRY if the video gives out wrong information about the cause of the fire like it came from Elvis smoking or the gas was leaking out from the car, but since it doesn’t, I’m ok with it. Just my thoughts.
@bobbyhall1305 Thank you for your comment. The information presented in the video is based on Scotty Moore’s account, who was driving in the separate car with Elvis (he was driving in the same car as Bill Black). Elvis followed Scotty’s car in his pink Cadillac with a girl in the car with him, and according to Scotty, Elvis was “paying’ no damn attention to the car and all of a sudden he (Elvis) realized the damn thing was no fire”. From Scotty’s account and different sources I did a research on, no further explanation was given to what exactly caused the failure of a brake lining. Maybe Elvis really was driving with the parking brake on like you said after all, but from accessible sources, no actual cause was given. Scotty also said that the fire was quite big and Elvis couldn’t put it out- all he could do was open the trunk and throw out their clothes and instruments.
@@anythingelvis1969 if you watch the movie Elvis starring Kurt Russell that movie tells a complete different story about how Cadillac caught fire but 90% of the time the movies are fictional
to say that elvis put on heavy mascara on his eyes more than women did... I guess women love guys with mascara around their eyes.. in public you woke up with that he watered everyday.. I know movie stars wear makeup 💄..
@@kelliintexas3575 that's true Valentino did that the women all thought he was the most good-looking guy... But I know movie stars wear makeup when they're doing movies that's normal.. but I myself and all my friends don't wear makeup when we're out partying at the nightclub out with the girls the girls would think we're gay.. but I guess some girls get turned on when guys wear........

Man reflects on helping Elvis Presley with car

Elvis Presley had a burning love for his first pink and white Cadillac in 1955. ¶ But the love turned to nervous excitement when Elvis thought the Cadillac was going to explode.
Ken Palmer was cruising U.S. Highway 67 that day, returning to Texarkana from Hope.
Elvis was driving his Cadillac from Hope to Texarkana after he performed his rock 'n' roll show Sunday, June 5, 1955, in the Hope Municipal Auditorium.
And he wasn't alone, though no one has officially confirmed the identity of the woman riding with Elvis to Texarkana.
Authors reporting on the burned car wrote Elvis looked desolate watching his Cadillac burn.
Palmer was at an historic moment in the stories of early rock 'n' roll.
Patsy Green of New Boston, Texas, mailed Palmer a copy of the Texarkana Gazette section about "U.S. 67 The Highway to Rock 'n' Roll." The section was published Nov. 24 of last year and had a story about the fire which destroyed the Cadillac.
Palmer, who now lives in Sandusky, Mi., called the Gazette and confirmed he helped Elvis pull items from the burning car. He also gave Elvis and the young woman a ride to Texarkana.
The fire occurred on U.S. Highway 67 near Fulton and a "long bridge," Palmer said.
"I was just goofing off and was driving back from Hope to Texarkana on the Fulton bottom bridge and saw the car smoking," Palmer said.
When he stopped, he had no idea the car belonged to Elvis.
"He left the emergency brake on and the brake fluid caught on fire. The smoke was coming from the trunk. The other stories said smoke was coming from the engine, but it was the trunk," Palmer said.

The fuel tank was full and kept the car from exploding, Palmer speculates.
"If the fuel tank had been half empty, it would have exploded," said Palmer, who was stationed at the Red River Army Depot.
The trunk was full of equipment, he said.
"We got his guitar out and the amps. He got the money box out. I pulled out an amp from the back seat in the floorboard," Palmer said.
