Elvis Presley poses in this handout 1957 file photo provided by MGM. The folks who keep the world supplied with Elvis T-shirts and coffee mugs have a new project in the works _ an Elvis Presley license plate. Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc. can move ahead with its plan when 1,000 orders for the plates are assured. The state requires that minimum number of sales to approve a so-called specialty license plate, which costs $35 more than a regular tag. If approved, the Elvis license plates would be available only for cars registered in the state of Tennessee. Proceeds would go to the Regional Medical Center, the Memphis region's main publicly supported hospital and home of the Elvis Presley Memorial Trauma Center.
