MG A 1600 MkI, I believe after 1960 by the front side-lights.

Mmm 1960, that's strange, the movie takes place in 1961. Elvis' girlfriend has taken care of this car for two years because he was in the army...
Maybe the car is from january 1960 and Elvis came back december 1961... ;)

His girlfriend seems to know the police well enough to get out of speeding fines. She probably hasn't paid the registration since 1961 either (i.e. the date on the windscreen sticker...)

Note, Elvis liked the car so much, he bought it for himself, and it is still on display in Graceland.
In the movie, the central rear-view mirror was removed from the dashboard to give a better view of the actors through the windscreen. The Graceland car has this mirror, plus an extra wing mirror on the passenger side.

Date (July 59) confirmed for rear lights as well as the front.

Wouldn't the car have been a newly released 1960 model year at that time? Because many sources state it's a 1960 model.
