Default Color Vettes

JUST WONDERING I WAS DRIVING MY YELLOW VETTE IN-TOWN AND I HAPPENED TO SEE A BRIGHT PINK C-4 VETTE. NO ****! I AM NOT KIDDING AROUND. I HAPPENED TO SEE THE TAG AND IT CAME FROM FLORIDA SAYING "FLMINGO" I DID NOT SEE THE DRIVER BECAUSE THE WINDOWS WERE TINT. THE RIMS WERE SAWBLADE CHROME. IT WAS A SURE HEADTURNER HAS ANYBODY FROM FLORIDA SEEN THIS CAR AND DO MARY KAY DISTRIBUTE SEVERAL OF THESE CARS? I KNOW THEY MAKE PINK CADDILLACS?

to the best of my knowledge, MK did not distribute them.

Whomever did that, did it on their own coin.

There's a MK pink C5 running around OKC, but I'm thinking she had her own car painted that way. Bob Stoops's (OU Football Coach) wife is a big muckety muck with MK, and she has a bright pink Suburban.

I don't think that the pink Vette this guy saw was Angelyne. He said it had a Florida plate that said FLMINGO. Angelyne's would be Cali plates.

Good question. My question would be, would I still KEEP it, at all! Answer: I'd sell it to whomever would pay that wonderful, "collector-car" inflationary price. And smile all the way to the bank.

HA HA, you guys are gonna love this. The 35th anniversary is triple white right? White paint, white seats, white wheels. Well I was talking with Joe, the head of the 35th registry, about a woman who ordered one, but paid to have every white part on the car painted or dyed pink. This is what happens when you have too many barbies as a child.
