It looked like the site kind of guessed at the date, and I decided to see if I could do better.
Patty and the King: 1962

Patty Regan Kingsbaker, my commercial agent when I'm in Denver and one of my favorite people in the world. Photo taken at a gas station in Needles California when she was 12 years old. Oh, and that guy standing beside her? Yeah, that's Elvis.

Well, it's not from 1962, as the vehicle behind them is Elvis' 1964 Series 75 Fleetwood limousine.
My guess is this was taken in June 1967, with Elvis en route to MGM to film "Speedway."
- Needles is a straight shot westward from Memphis
- He appears to be wearing a weighted fitness belt (trim a bit more for the movie?)
- Elvis looks very much like a candid from this time, taken at 10550 Rocca Place in Los Angeles
And young Patty Regan could easily have been about 17, she's not a very tall lady. She graduated from high school in June 1968.

She's still with us, living the good life in Colorado.

Maybe little stopovers like this were one reason Elvis was later drawn to cover the Three Dog Night hit, "Never Been To Spain" . . .
Well, I headed for Las Vegas
Only made it out to Needles
