Mammary gland pink or not, that's a nice looking car!

Except for the cock-eyed headlight. Looks like a sealed beam conversion gone askew.

Kind of a freaky color but for that price I think I could get used to it.......

One older man I know has written about his

family's cars in our AACA region's newsletter.  The

custom in their family was for each daughter to be

given a new car when she turned 18 years of age.

One of his sisters got a new 1930 Buick roadster

specially ordered in pink from the factory--

"a special paint job to match her shocking pink scarf."

 

"Doris drove two school friends in the pink roadster to

Washington to see the cherry blossoms.  A pink roadster

full of three girls in that cherry blossom traffic must have

turned many a neck," he wrote.

 

So such cars, while seldom seen, did indeed exist---

One can park it next to a 1970 Mopar (or a brand new Challenger) in Panther Pink at a car show and fit right in!!!

Ouch. Looks like a nice car at a reasonable price. However, if I bought it I would not let it out of the garage until it was repainted.

 

Owned a '27 sedan once. It was a nice driver.

It is a GM car. Maybe it is an early attempt at Art Duco.

Looks like a Thrill. Thrills gum were this exact shade, I am afraid the photos don't do it justice.

Ha Ha! It's pretty bold.

But I have to say, if I bought it, I would leave it as is (except for the cheesy spare tire cover) and drive it!

In a field of otherwise vanilla cars this one would truly stand out.

Of course you'd have to be the kind of vintage car owner/driver who really doesn't mind talking to people. 

Wish it was closer, at that price I'd take a look.

I'll assume that's intended to be humor.  The company was founded in 1963.

She was born in 1918.

Perhaps she was popular in 3rd grade?

I guess it Sold as it is gone ?
