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...)

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.
