The late Marie Macdonald had platinum-dust paint on her Caddy, but Elvis Presley has diamond dust on his. For further easy identification, Presley's car sports a yacht-style rear-seat lounge, portholes, gold lame drapes, gold curtains, gold mouton carpeting, gold-plated telephone and 24-carat hubcaps and tail pipes. The hubcaps on Ursula Andress...
