Twinkletown Farm, Horn Lake, Mississippi.
During a horse and pickup truck-buying expedition in Mississippi, Elvis came across Twinkletown Farm, a 160-acre cattle
ranch marked by a lit sixty-five foot-high white cross, near Walls, Mississippi, about ten miles south of Graceland. The
property was up for sale, and Elvis decided almost immediately to purchase it. He also purchased three new 1967 GMC
pickup trucks and a 1963 Black Cadillac from Guy Caldwell Motors in Senatobia for a total sum of $7,555.80. The trucks
came in various colours that included red, blue and green (photo) which was Elvis' favourite. He gave the Cadillac to his cousin Patsy Gambill and her husband Marvin.

Elvis made a $5,000 (photo) down payment toward a $437,000 purchase price for the Ranch. He later renamed it the Circle G (for Graceland), the ranch immediately became a new home for Elvis' growing herd of horses, and over the next few weeks Elvis and the guys adopted the communal cowboy life, as Elvis undertook extensive and rapid-fire improvements to the property.
