It's nice, but it's a fake. Where did you find it?

The head is from August 1956, the legs and feet from August 1958, when he and his dad were sitting on the steps of Graceland after Gladys died.

And bumper bars weren't that big to sit on with your guitar, even in the '50s!

Ah yes I see this now! Good eye Doc! It was in google images. I didn't click on the link I just saved the image. I actually thought it was a drawing or something.

Speaking of fake check out this picture of Elvis at 80. (Maybe everyone 's been right on here about his hairline) :shock:

Also, that would be a pretty damn uncomfortable spot for anyone to sit- that vertical bumper guard (seen at his left knee) would make it so. :facep:

If you ever meet an ER nurse I'm sure they can tell you some stories Greybeard that'd make your eyes bulge.

It's not to scale, either. Imagine how tall he'd be if he stood up.

Certainly taller than, say, Johnny Cash or Kris Kristofferson.

Fairly sure I know the program used to add the fake scratches and BW effect... its a freeware standalone I found online and used many times on various things...
