intimeold Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) I worked at a Ford Dealership in the 1970's and early,80's. A "brainy" general manager; had a white Escort painted Pink. Yea, I know he didn't really ruin a Good car. And it wasn't just a pale pink, like the above T-Bird, which sort of fits the T-bird. Well, it is early that I am typing; maybe I am asleep. It was more like the Volkswagen above. Oh that General Manager was stubborn too. After a few months on the lot, the higher ups, "said take that darn Pink thing to the auction". But the Used car manager was embarrassed to take it out in the automotive public. So more months went by; and finally the Body Shop got the order, to make it White again. intimeold Edited January 6, 2022 by intimeold (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8E45E Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 When I get home from work, I'll post some photos of cars that are 'Mountain Laurel', 'Tropical Rose', 'Calypso Coral', 'Flamingo', 'Dubonnet', 'Island Coral', 'Rosebud', 'Scottish Heather', and other imaginative names for PINK.

John_S_in_Penna Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Here is a picture from the internet of a 1975 Cadillac Coupe de Ville. Its paint is a non-standard color for 1975, mountain laurel, said to be specially ordered. The car is listed for sale on www.cars-on-line.com, but it has been there for several years. I suppose no one ever removed the ad: https://www.cars-on-line.com/gen3-cars/col1/posting/67888 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Here are 2 more cars that are painted in unusual combinations: Both are 1977 Lincoln Mark V's. These are from the internet. I believe they are standard colors, but I have never seen any others painted in these combinations: Edited January 5, 2022 by John_S_in_Penna (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tops sales reps never actually 'own' the pink cars. They all belong to the cosmetic company, and get turned back to them after a few years. Before they are either sold or traded in for new Cadillacs, they are repainted white, or some other standard Cadillac paint color. The same was true with the fleet of 1969 Rocky Mountain Life Insurance Cougars that were painted purple which I mentioned here: They were repainted different 1969 FoMoCo colors before being resold to the public.

Pfeil Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 This is another SO car. Special order cars have a SO tag next attached next to the data tag. This particular car was Harly Earl's wife's car, a 1959 Pontiac Catalina with Bonneville / Star Chief rear taillights and a Bonneville interior. She probably wanted a Catalina because they were 7" shorter (all in the trunk) than Star Chief and Bonneville and probably easier to maneuver and park. Note; 1959 Bonneville and Star Chief would not fit in many garages of even relatively new homes of the 50's. My SO Catalina just fit (with the garage door closed) my parents garage, a Bonneville would have never made it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Some of those cars, notably the luxury cars, get away with wearing pink very well. Any postwar Cadillac looks great in Mountain Laurel. But some of these pictured pinks would more accurately be called "paink". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Byrd Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 My friend had a pink 58 Buick in high school, and there were a few Ford products painted pink and black around town, an occasional pink Caddy, Lincoln, and Nash's, but the .....uh..... most extreme ( ? ) pink cars to me were 2 new Mercury Cougars in a showroom in Knoxville, TN. in 67, and the pic of a local ladies car here in town. I painted a model car ( shown here, and my 1st car model ) of a 58 Buick the same color as my high school friends real 58, but I painted this model in 58, and Randy didn't get his real 58 until 65 or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Matt, you know I'm a Corvette guy and a little celeb connection is always fun. After reading Scott's link above I can say I'd gladly own, and drive, anyone of those Playboy cars in their pink livery (well except for the 1970 Capri) but damn, that giant mural of Marilyn on the hood of that Corvette is just a deal breaker for me. 😄 (especially living here in Palm Springs, California) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
