This quilt block shows another car but this time it is very pink. This car is rounder and you can see the rear window and a very small trunk. The headlight on the front of the car is a darker pink. The windows are a gray-yellow, and there are two dark wheels at the bottom. Each wheel has a small off-white two-hole button indicating the axle.

Remember when Mary Kay Cosmetics gave away pink Cadillacs in their reward program? Well, this isn’t a Cadillac, but I think it’s close to Mary Kay Pink.

It also is the color of Barbie’s car. I think this little car is adorable, especially the headlight that looks like a pink nose.

“Ken, this is Barbie.”

“Hey, Barbie. What’s shakin’?”

“You want to go down to the beach? We can take my new pink car!”

“Gee, I don’t know, Barbie; the guys might laugh at me driving that little pink car.”

“Ken, who said you were driving?”

“I always drive Barbie.”

“I swear to God, Ken, you are such a neanderthal! Forget it! I’ll pick up Skipper, and we’ll hit the beach and see if any evolved guys are on there.”
