Fantastic vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 half-length photo of Presley with slicked back hair and an open deep-collared shirt, signed and inscribed in blue ballpoint, "To Sandy, They'll never believe us, Elvis Presley.” In fine condition, with some unobtrusive light creasing and old tape residue in the top border which could easily be matted out. Consignor notes that the recipient was a hitchhiker Presley picked up on Los Angeles' Sunset Boulevard in 1966.

According to rock biographer Ray Connolly, Presley picked up people 'just to see the expression on their faces when they realized who the bus driver was.'
