In 2013, four models will represent important phases in Elvis’ career from 1954 to 1977.

Green is the colour that marks 1958, the year Elvis was drafted into the US Army. Reminiscent of the period when Elvis was in uniform. Black represents 1968 – the year of Elvis' “comeback special,” in which he wore his famous black leather outfit. White was selected for the ultimate model in the quartet, representing 1973 – the year of the ground-breaking “Aloha From Hawaii” broadcast
