$40,000 Was Paid For The Starsky And Hutch Grand Torino.
If you watched TV in the late 1970s, you probably spent evenings watching Starsky and Hutch as they tried to keep the peace in the Bay City, California, neighborhoods. Even though the actors who played Starsky and Hutch, Paul Michael Glaser, and David Soul, were well-known, the show’s real star was the Ford Grand Torino that Starsky and Hutch drove.

Because of all the stunts done on that show, the people who made it had to make different versions of cars between 1974 and 1976. Some cars were made specifically for stunt driving, while others were just regular cars right off the lot. All of them were painted bright red, and each one had a white “vector” stripe going down the side, at an auction in 2014, one of the original Gran Torinos that had been used in the making of the show sold for $40,000.

Elvis Presley’s limousine was, of course, covered in gold. The only person who could do it well was the King of Rock and Roll. Elvis Presley liked the Series 75 Fleetwood limousine the most out of all the Cadillacs. He gave it 40 coats of a paint called “diamond dust pearl,” made from crushed diamonds and fish scales, and gave it 24-karat gold plate accents and trim. Whenever the guy did something, he did it ultimately and as well as he could.

These changes cost Presely almost $65,000, which was a lot of money back then (and still is today). After the King died, the limp was flown to Nashville and put in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, where it will stay.
