Elvis Presley License Plates Could Be Scrapped
 

Not enough drivers are buying an Elvis Presley specialty license plate. Sales of the plate benefit the Elvis Presley Trauma Center in Memphis, but if at least 250 more fans don't order those tags the design could be scrapped.

The Regional Medical Center needs a required 1,000 purchasers to justify the mass production of the design, which shows the King in a white suit strumming a white guitar. Hospital officials said they need those last 250 fans to buy the plate before the June 30 deadline.

The hospital is hoping a series of radio ads in Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga will convince those last few fans.

The hospital estimated it would receive roughly $20 in revenue for each plate sold.
