Alanna Nash reports that Alfred (Al) Wertheimer has passed away

It is with a heave heart to have learned that Alfred (Al) Wertheimer (sadly) passed away today October 20, 2014.

I learned of his passing through my dear friend Alanna Nash.

My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to Alanna Nash and those who were; friends and/or loved ones of Mr. Wertheimer.

Having amassed Elvis Presley photographs, for these (6) six decades now, I greatly appreciated the talent and artistry of Mr. Wertheimer who was able to capture magnificent candid photographs of Elvis circa 1956. The most famous of Mr. Wertheimer’s Elvis’ photographs was the one entitled “the kiss” where Elvis has his tongue out extended to a 50’s short hair cropped beauty against a wall.

Even after all these years the black and white photographs of Mr. Wertheimer, with my favorite being Elvis wearing his suit walking away from the train by himself heading home fin Memphis, Tennessee after being in New York., resonates.

The passing of Mr. Wertheimer (sadly) closes yet another chapter in the lives of those who played a pivotal role in the life of Elvis Presley. Hence, I do wish that Elvis fans worldwide will not only pay their respects concerning Mr. Wertheimer’s passing but to also reach out and support those who were friends and/or loved one’s of Elvis Presley. This list includes, but is not limited to, the following: Marty Lacker, Red West, Sonny West, Billy Smith, Joe Esposito, Jerry Schilling and Sandi Pichon.

Time proves, each day, that life is never guaranteed in length and/or quality. I will always be a fan of Mr. Wertheimer and I deeply regret that I was not able to meet him in person. Fortunately Mr. Wertheimer has left behind a body of works that are exceptional.

I know that God will grant the time to; mourn, acknowledge, praise, and then the time to heal.

For those seeking more information I refer, with sincere thanks and respect, you to contact Alanna Nash directly.

Take care and may God bless you.

Elvis’ honeymoon cadillac up for auction

Want to ride like The King and his queen?

A 1967 Cadillac Coupe De Ville originally owned by Elvis Presley is being auctioned later this month, fittingly at the Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas event.

According to the seller, Elvis and his new bride Priscilla were often seen driving around Memphis in the car, which was bought not long after their wedding in 1967, earning it the nickname “The Honeymoon Cadillac.”

The red two-door features a black roof and interior, is in good condition, and has been on display in Elvis museums for the past 35 years.

According to the Hagerty Price Guide, perfect examples of the model are worth as much as $30,000, but the celebrity connection could bring a jackpot with it. Proof of its provenance comes in the form of a bill of sale and title featuring Elvis’ name.

Elvis owned over 30 Caddys during his lifetime, but for true romantics this could be the only one.
