Malibu Barbie Beetle Convertible

After the pink version of Italian city car Fiat 500, another company created a fashionista present for Barbie’s 50th Birthday.

It’s the time of Volkswagen with its New Beetle dressed like the famous doll and called Malibu Barbie New Beetle Convertible.

The chic car made its debut at Barbie’s real-life Malibu Dream House, a 3,500 square-foot Jonathan Adler-designed residence in California, during an exclusive birthday celebration where celebrity guests, as supermodel Heidi Klum, received a grab bag with Barbie sunglasses, handbags, and “tiny shoes.”

Customization artists ABD Racing Werks, Katzkin Leather and Interiors and FoamMolders fully transformed the iconic New Beetle convertible into the perfect Barbie ride.

The chic car features sparkling pink paint, custom white leather, rhinestone studding, a lipstick-toned dipstick, and a motorized vanity in the trunk.

And also a convertible top, hand stitched floor mats, pink quilted leather lined door pockets and arm rests.

Over five shades of paint were mixed together to create the perfect pink color for Barbie doll’s car.

“We are extremely proud to partner with Mattel and create a customized New Beetle convertible to celebrate Barbie’s landmark birthday,” said Laura Soave, General Manager of Marketing, Volkswagen of America, Inc.

“Like the New Beetle, Barbie has made a remarkable impact on pop culture history, and still remains a cultural icon today.”
