On November 1st 1956 Elvis Presley takes delivery of his 1957 Harley-Davidson FLH.
Elvis immediately started riding his new machine, as later in the day he took actress Natalie Wood riding. The star’s Harley-Davidson history started back in 1955, when he acquired a small small 1956 Harley-Davidson ST 165. The King constantly moved up to larger bikes, as his financial status and riding skills improved.
