Normally Mary Kay cars are leased and GM takes them back and repaints them before they sell them.

If it's the same car, I have seen this one in the past. Kerbeck in Atlantic City painted an early silver C6 convertible to be used by Miss America to ride in for a Toys For Tots event. I will search my computer for some pictures.
Where did you see it?

I am correcting myself, the car Kerbeck did appears to be a coupe. This photo is from August 2004.

The auction car has Pennsylvania inspection stickers on the windshield.

We sold that car back in December of 2004 to someone in PA. Sometime in the last few months, he sold that car to another buyer in the PA area. Ours was originally silver so the headlights were silver. Our car had silver wheels. The car in the OP looks like it had chrome wheels.

What does your daughter think of the color?

I personally wouldn't want a repainted, color-changed car unless it was something old that went through a ground-up resto.

I would say it is about breast cancer awareness, Mary K cars are a softer lighter pink.

Back then?

My 2005 c6. No silver headlights!






As for the pink c6. (And that also goes for the c7s that some folks have painted pink.) NOT for this girl!!!

I suppose that the OP knows if his daughter would like pink, though.

My mistake...not sure where I remembered that from...obviously someplace wrong! LOL I think I'll delete that one

I guess I was thinking of the later years when they allowed optional headlight colors other than the car color....got that one turned around!
