You never see any. Surely women like them do they not?
Man, you are ONE funny guy. Start a few more of these, why don’t you? Repetition will only add to the hilarity.
Have you ever heard of Mary Kay Cosmetics? They buy pink cars. There you go. Other than that, no pastel color is a popular choice for cars. It just is not aggressive enough to market.
Plus they’re hell to keep clean.
On a related note, anyone remember that car the late, great, beautiful Madelyn Kahn drove in the flick High Anxiety? Well, I once saw a lady get outta one of them Mary Kay Caddies with the same color pantsuit and lipstick! as that awful powder-pink car.
I liked ta puked!
(I love to bold! The more I drink, the bolder I get! Sorry Uke!:D)

They still have the use of their eyes.
Not any more. Back in the mid '50s, maybe 1956, Ford put out a real purty silver gray and pink (they called it Flamingo) number. Sold quite a few but it never quite caught on.
The summer before my senior year in high school the transmission quit in my 66 Rambler. A friend of my step father just happened to have a car I could have for only $75. It was a 57 Buick Century 4 door hardop. The bottom half of the car was a dark green and the top, pink. The interior was black on the lower sections with pink on top. It was butt ugly. But it got me where I needed to go and for some reason, girls liked the car. Traded it in on a 66 Chevy the day before school started. One of the few cars I owned back then I would not want to have now.
The only pink car I’ve ever seen was a 1972 VW Beetle. It wasn’t a factory job, though. It was such an intense shade, it appeared to vibrate.
They’re pink.
AAAAHHHH!!!
<twitch>
Mention not the dreaded name of M*** K** Cos*******!!! Their Canadian distribution centre and office is located next to the plant where I work. From the eastern windows on the second floor we can see the Pink Cadillacs parked next to the M*** K** building. And the pink fire doors. And the pink loading-bay doors. And…
<twitch>
<whimper>
And now, the new Canadian headquarters of the Evil Empire ^W^W^WMicrosoft has risen ino view just beyond it.
I tell you, the view from those windows can be quite disturbing indeed.
<sob>
Actually I know a guy who drives a pink car. It’s not hot pink; more of a pearly, iridescent pink. All his friends make fun of him but I think he’s gotten attached to his pink car.
I’m a woman. And pink is about the LAST color choice for any car of mine. Of course, my dayroom has dark panelling (which I picked out), linoleum tiles which look like complex wood inlay, and a royal blue ceiling. So maybe I’m not a stereotypical woman.
Seriously, I don’t know of ANY woman who’d want a pink car unless she’s a M**** K*** (take it EASY, Sunspace). associate. THOSE women get pink cadillacs given to them as sales incentives. I’m sure, that if they got their choice of colors, very few of them would pick pink.
Generally, if I have my choice of car color, I’ll take blue, red, or green. If I had the money to throw away, I might even try to find a DeLorean. But I’d have to be pretty desperate to drive a pink car. If I was given one, I’d probably take it down to the paint shop and pay a couple hundred bucks to have it painted.
Lady Penelope had a pink Rolls-Royce - license plate FAB 1.
So they must be cool.
Wouldn’t be seen dead in it, personally, of course…
Well, now, there’s pink and then there’s pink .
I frequently see Ddge Nens that are a color which I am told is called Strawberry Creme or some such. It is pink, not Mry Ky pink, but more of a deeper pink. It reminds me of raspberry lipgloss. The proliferation of Strawberry Creme Ne*ns amongst young, female Long Island dwellers is absolutely frightening.
But I wonder, would no one else drive - not own, necessarily, just drive once for the sheer thrill - a pink Cadillac? The stuff of song lyrics?
There was quite a tasteful subtle shade of metallic pink champagne that I think Rover (or BMW?) used in the early 90s. My friend’s father had a car that colour, and there was nothing particularly feminine about the man or the motor.
At one time my grandmother had a pink convertible cadillac. I think it was left over from the fifities? It had lots of chrome and rounded fins and was kept in a shed down in Arkansas. When I saw it I thought, ugly car! Now I wish it was mine. It would be like driving around in an art car.
I would love a pink car. Not bright pink, but a pearly pink. Pink is my favorite color. When I was married, the kitchen of our house was huge (15 x 30), and painted Pepto-Bismol pink. I loved it. I understand that the ex painted it yellow as soon as I moved out. (But he still has the orange shag carpeting in the bedroom. Go figure). And yes, I would drive a M**y K*y pink Cadillac.
Some years back, we had a neighbor who restored an old Duster. For reasons we never understood, he painted it Pepto-Bismol Pink. At first I thought maybe he intended to give it to one of his daughters, but, no, it was his car. He eventually sold it.
I still don’t understand…
In Texas 15 to 20 years ago, I seem to remember a pink Cadillac and later a pink Corvette craze.
I think those went out with big hair and spandex outerwear - well those haven’t entirely gone out with everyone.
My first car, in the late 70s, was a '59 Plymouth Fury. It had a push-button automatic, fins, and it was pink and white.
I kind of miss that car, except for the lousy gas mileage, the complete mechanical unreliability, and the improbably long stopping distance. It was a great drive-in car.
