Elvis Presley "Viva Las Vegas" Racing Helmet W/COA From Billy Smith - This black and red striped racing helmet was made for the production of the 1964 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film, Viva Las Vegas. Elvis Presley plays race car driver "Lucky Jackson" who is attempting to enter a race in Las Vegas. This helmet was made by the production, likely early on before it was decided that Elvis would wear a bright orange racing suit for the racing scene. The helmet has a red stripe down the middle and a lightening bolt on either side with white lettering reading "Lucky", Elvis Presley's character's name in the film. Elvis would end up keeping this helmet before giving it to his cousin, Billy Smith. It was later housed at Jimmy Velvet's Elvis Presley Museum. Viva Las Vegas is regarded by fans and film critics as one of Presley's best films, and it is noted for the on-screen chemistry between Presley and Ann-Margret. The film was a hit at theaters, and was #14 on the Variety year end box office list of the top-grossing films of 1964. The helmet comes with a certificate of authenticity from the Elvis Presley Museum, signed by Elvis' first cousin Billy Smith. The helmet retains the original lot tag and will also come with a copy of the auction catalog page. Shipping Note: This item is located in Florida. Shipping will be at the expense of the buyer.
