The Barbie doll brand was launched in March 1959 and comprised of enviable 5 mansions, lavish riding stables and a huge wardrobe any young girl could only dream of having. If having a great family and friends was not enough she has also had her own array of stylish sporty cars over the years. In possession of a rather cool pilots' license and various bicycles and boats, the 1960's icon has always had a parade of enviable cars parked on the imaginary drive way including classics like the VW Beetle, sporty Corvette convertibles and stylish Jeeps.
In 2009 the stylish Barbie Icon celebrated her 50th Birthday and as a present to the life-size 'Malibu Dream House' and to pay tribute to the iconic 60's brand, Volkswagen set about collaborating with Mattel to create a life-size version of 'Barbie's Malibu Dream Car', the VW Beetle convertible.
From inside and out, all around and back again the designers ABD Racing Werks, Katzin Leather and FoamMolders have not left a single detail unpolished or unrefined. The bespoke VW Beetle includes a lavish white custom leather interior, convertible top, hand stitched floor mats and even pink quilted leather lined doors. For the designers this was clearly not enough as the arm rests are also leather quilted to match the interiors. Under the bonnet it is hard not to notice the bright bespoke pink engine which includes even a dipstick to resemble Barbies' favorite shade of lipstick.
As well as the interior features the customized VW Beetle is also equipped with a motorized vanity section in the boot that entails a whole array of classic Barbie rhinestones and ornate mirrors offset by the perfect pink theme of the Beetle which is made up of 5 different color tones.
The customized one-off VW Beetle convertible was presented on a signature pink carpet at Barbies 50th birthday celebration in front of the already existing life-size 'Malibu Dream House' and with all of her fabulous celebrity guests.
