They didn’t. It’s two different pics. Her head is turned in the first one. Look close, the one pic shows a walk sign, the second shows don’t walk. His head is closer to the pole in one and not the other and the kid’s expression (the one sitting in the car) is slightly different, as is Elvis’.

It just looks giant like it doesn’t fit on the bike. I’m sure it’s comfy.

No way is that Elvis. Look at the cars. 1960's. Elvis wasn't burger King big then. Maybe someone went photoshopping.

Fifteen or 20 years ago, Elvis memorabilia fetched a good price. But it's been declining for years. His fanbase is quickly fading away. When each one passes, not only is that one less potential collector, it's also a potential collection hitting an estate sale.

That is a seriously cool bike, and if the provenance and condition are solid, it's worth a premium price. But what they're asking seems like quite a stretch.

This feels like something some b-list museum in Vegas would want. There's probably still enough fans who'd drop a twenty for a look to make it worth having, but not at the asking price.

Thanks. I zoomed the OP photo and they are different.
