Michael Dezer brings Elvis Presley’s legendary “Guitar Car” to the U.S. after decades overseas. A piece of rock ‘n’ roll and automotive history has been brought back for fans to experience once again. Dezerland Park Orlando has announced that founder Michael Dezer has acquired Elvis Presley’s famed “Guitar Car”, a one-of-a-kind custom Cadillac that has not been seen on American soil in decades. The car — originally created in the 1970s by Hollywood customizer Jay Ohrberg — is a showstopping tribute to the King of Rock and Roll. Shaped like a giant guitar and once driven by Elvis himself, the vehicle has spent years overseas, hidden from public view. Now, after a historic acquisition, it has made its dramatic return to the United States. “Few cars capture the spirit of American music and culture the way this one does,” said Michael Dezer, owner of Dezerland Park Orlando and one of the world’s foremost collectors of classic and celebrity vehicles. “We are proud to bring this extraordinary piece of Elvis history back to the U.S. and to make it available for fans to see up close." Dezerland Park Orlando will soon unveil the car to the public before embarking on a comprehensive restoration project that guests can watch unfold live inside the Orlando Auto Museum. Once fully restored, the Elvis Guitar Car will take its place as the centerpiece of a new exhibit dedicated to the iconic creations of Jay Ohrberg, whose imaginative vehicles have appeared in films, TV action and pop culture for decades. Dezerland Orlando and Las Vegas are also home to Ohrberg’s “The American Dream,” recognized as the world’s longest limousine. This acquisition adds to Dezerland’s world-renowned Orlando Auto Museum, which already showcases more than 2,500 rare and famous vehicles valued at over $200 million — including cars from James Bond, Batman and the Fast & Furious franchise.

Zara Larsson's headline tour is in support of new album Midnight Sun, set for release on September 26 via Sommer House / Epic Records. Created over the last year with frequent collaborator MNEK, alongside producers Margo XS and Zhone, as well as songwriter Helena Gao-the album is a true tour-de-force. Zara has already unleashed the album's latest chart-tpooing single, "Crush." This follows the album's transcendent title track, "Midnight Sun," which has penetrated the culture with virality all summer thanks to the song's Charlotte Rutherford-directed, Y2K-inspired music video and Zara's own vocal prowess on the track. Zara kicked off the Midnight Sun era with the confident and rowdy "Pretty Ugly" and its gloriously messy music video, also directed by Charlotte Rutherford and choreographed by Zoi Tatopoulos. Fittingly, the music video is nominated for an MTV Video Music Award for "Best Choreography." All three singles are unapologetically unfiltered, just like Midnight Sun, the album. The 10-track set ripples with confidence as its storytelling bursts with truth and vulnerability, plumbing the depth and growth of Zara's artistry and journey over nearly 20 years in the public eye. It is unafraid to show all sides of the 27-year-old: lovestruck, wistful, ambitious, cocky, flippant, and uncertain, often in the same breath. With more to come, the never ending Midnight Sun continues. Get ready Orlando!
