In 2023, we’ve published an array of topics on Carpool, from road trips and adventures, tips and advice, pets and the just plain quirky, to television, film and celebrity.

The latter is always of interest, especially when we take a look at some of the interesting endorsements, activities and personal car collections they curate. Here are five of the top trending celebrity stories on Carpool for 2023…

He was the king of Rock 'n' Roll so it’s no surprise Elvis Presley had a collection of impressive cars over his lifetime.

Fans of both the King’s music and cars flock to see the impressive collection for themselves at Graceland with the Elvis Presley Automobile Museum first opening on June 12, 1989. Now in its 34th year, this collection features over 20 cars owned by the King.

The longest-serving heir to the throne has had his fair share of luxury cars over the years and with his coronation upon us, we thought we'd take a closer look at the former Prince of Wales' luxurious and eco-friendly fleet.

The British Royal Family has had quite the impressive collection of cars over the years which is currently believed to be worth an estimated £6.3m (AUD $11.8m). Reports from The Guardian suggest that the exact ownership of these cars is challenging to nail down as many of them are classified as state cars but are actually used for private use by the royals.
