Here are some early chick-mobiles I dug up while surfing the web. Some go way back -- others not quite so far. Check 'em out and add to them if you think of more. I'm sure there were tons of cars marketed to women over the decades. :)

She somehow reminds me of Laura Bush -- don't ask me why...:confused:

Wonder what Mary Kay though of this shade of pink?

Banana Yellow - one of my all time favs...

Ah yes, the Firebird Esprit... Which was chickier; the Esprit or the Camaro Berlinetta?? Hmmm.....

Haha, I was about to post the pink '70 Charger add and tehn I noticed you've already got it.

I always thought a V6 Camaro was a Chick car

It's Moulan Rouge on a Plymouth and Panther Pink on a Dodge, and I sold 3 of them....all to GUYS !....and NO to that thoght !

I'm comfortable enough with my sexuality to drive a pink car!

Oh yeah, same here. Wouldn't bug me a bit. Just the funny looks from people as you drive by in a pink car... hmmmm..:holycrap:

I always thought a V6 Camaro was a Chick car

Oh but it was. The Berlinetta model was marketed to girls. One of my buddies in college had one and we'd all tease him about his car and perhaps being "that way"; course he wasn't, as he got married and had 3 kids. Not that that means anything I suppose, but... oh forget it... I'm drifting...:Offtopic:

I never saw one of those Vega Cabriolets >>NEVER ! What year did the make those......do you know ?

1) The 1988 Caddy I bought used, in 1990, with just 13,000 flawless miles on it, from the local Mary Kay DISTRICT MANAGER, therefore she didn't have to travel as much, and only put 6,500 a year on her cars. I added the Appliance Genuine Wire Wheels, the Vogue white walls and swapped out the hard cold plastic steering wheel for a year & model correct leather wrapped one. Thing ran flawlessly all the time. Sold it in 1994 with under 20,000 on it & 6 years "Old". When sold, it was still w/out a single flaw. Never saw it again, after I sold it.

2) The Mark 7 I ordered brandy new. Every possible option + SOP (Special Order Paint) = 1959 Thunderbrd & Lincoln "Flamingo"on the 'Bird and "Shell Pink" on the Lincoln.

3) That is not our house (I wish) That is the house of the man in Florida that I sold it to, in 1993 (when it was 7 years old with 7,000 miles on it!!) That house is in Puenta Gordo Florida. I am in New Jersey.

Here's a picture of our house :)

This is what we can afford AFTER I bought my Lincoln, Cadillac & 3 Mustangs & a Jeep for the son.

We all know you hide a much much nicer house than that Sandy!!

I think the Vega Cabriolet was made by GM of Canada, and not sold here. The tail lights are definitely not U.S.

BTW Sandy, trying to keep the property taxes down? Bet it looks like the playboy mansion inside, eh?
:thumbsup:

http://www.jedi.com/obiwan/jeep/misc/pics/c101-2.jpg

The first "crossover" vehicle. Not as raw as a CJ, not as mature as a Grand Wagoneer. BTW, notice the overt sexuality in this? Three hot chicks, one guy holding his BIG surfboard. Not sure where the Great Dane fits in. Not sure I want to know.

Not a Mary-Kay car! Factory color. Ford would have painted them camoflauge if they thought they could sell the damn things.

That's our Summer Home, near the beach.:)

Now the truth....
I have no pictures and if I did, I have no scanner. It's a nothing special house. We own an unusual house. It's a 2 family, and we rent the 1st floor. It's a huge tax savings. However the house is a 3 story. We live on the 2nd and the 3 floors. We have between the 2nd & 3rd floors (which to us are like the 1st & 2nd floors in any other house) 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 stoarge rooms, a living room & dining room and a kitchen and a den. The 1st floor rental has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, a kitchen a dining room & a living room and a den. I have here a 3 car gargage and a 6 car driveway. It's a wood frame house, facing a county park, and it's light beige (paint) with white trim and a cranberry-red colored front door. There's a small-ish back yard all fenced in and the property measures a small-ish 47 feet w-i-d-e and 102 feet deep. It was built in 1933. There is no central A/C, just room units, and tiny old fashioned closets One of the 3rd fl. bedrooms I have turned into my office. There's a TV there, and it's all carpeted and the house has 44 windows in it, all new-in-1995.
There's a HUGE MAMOUTH basement, that is divided 3-ways:
The tenant's 1/3rd ~ OUR 1/3rd and a joint 1/3rd.... There are 2 washers & 2 dryers down there. From the 3rd floor to the basement is 48 steps !!
The garage is not heated & does have a power lift door.

We have very nice & polite 1st floor tenants who always pay on time. They do not have use of the driveway and have a permit to park on the street.
We pretty much live here for free, as the rent pays for the property taxes, the gardner, the heating oil and the house insurance. None of this comes directly outta my income. The house has been in the family for 33 years. There are 9 houses on the street, it's a middle-class area in a "blue-collar" town. We are "well-mixed" in the 9 houses! 1 Latino, 2 African American, 3 Jewish and 3 White American Christian. Any other questions should be submitted in writing.:)

Hey, that's the color of my prior Mark ! 1959 "Flamingo" That's where I ordered it from !!

I never saw one of those Vega Cabriolets >>NEVER ! What year did the make those......do you know ?

Around 1974 - 1976 "ish", can't remember exactly. Pontiac made their version too called the "Astre Cabriolet" and it was even chickier. It had a round porthole window in the rear sort of like an old T-bird.

Hey Sandy, how do I make pictures bigger in this thing? I notice yours are slick but mine come out as just little thumbnail attachments. Thanks.

There are two ways to get full size images in your post, both involving something called hot-linking. You can look up a generic image on the web using Google or Yahoo image engines, then after loading the image, right click on it and selecting "copy image location." Then open a posting window on the forums. In the top row of icons above the message box, there is one that looks like a photograph of mountains; this is the insert image icon. Click on it and a pop up will ask for a URL of the picture you want to insert. Right click in the box and paste in the image address you just copied (make sure there's only one http:// in the link address after you paste).

If the image is on your computer, you can post the pics to a site like CarDomain.com or Photobucket.com, then hotlink to them as described above.

Almost forgot this one - the '56 Lincoln in a dazzling lavender color called "Wisteria." Can't you just see some mink-clad desperate housewife renting a room at the Dearborn Inn - on the hourly rate?

That's entirely possible. Back then GM of Canada had several unique models, most notably in the Pontiac lineup. The Strato Chief, Laurentian and Parisienne (aka Bonneville in the U.S.). But then you guys had a really cool Pontiac that we never could buy here -- the Grand Ville. The '75 convertible... now that was a cool car.:)

[although this one's a '73 - for sale in Florida for $8,900. Hmmmm..... not that I need it or anything.]

Thanks noahsdad. I'll give it a whirl. I had been uploading the images to this site and then using this site's address for the URL; guess that's where I went wrong.

Oh absolutely... or at the King Edward in Toronto if she wanted to make it a truly "international affair"... :devil:

Hey, I love that lavendar Lincoln! That's definately a "Sandy Car" Yes, I am married with 1 Son. I just like bright and unusual colored cars. I am so sick of today's silver, silver blue, silver gray, silver green, fawn silver, silver fawn, silver teal, charcoal blue, blue charcoal, charcoal green, greeen charcoal, greyish red, etc, etc. They all look like they are being viewed thru a misty foggy day in London !

Parisienne (aka Bonneville in the U.S.).

they had the Parisienne down here.

Not sure where the Great Dane fits in. Not sure I want to know.





:eek: I saw a porn flick at a stag party once starring this buxom chick and a Great Dane.... that's all I'm going to say...

they had the Parisienne down here.

Yes but not until around 1982 or so. It was available in Canada from the late '50s right through til GM discontinued it in around 1986.

What about the Pontiac Ladybird cars?

You've got a good eye and an even better memory. In the mid '70s the Canadian Department of Transport mandated all sorts of new vehicle standards -- 5 MPH rear bumpers (I think the U.S bumpers only had to withstand a 2.5 MPH impact), metric speedometers and odometers, integral shoulder belts and... amber rear turn signals. So yeah, I guess the rear tail lights are the Canadian version. The "amber rule" sort of died or got overturned or whatever because today's cars are back to red. I wish the "metric rule" would be dropped -- its frustrating as hell driving the wife's '88 deVille and looking at the fuel data center saying "25.6 Litres/100 km" ; like WTF does that mean!!! I find myself converting in my head back to miles per gallon. "Hmmm... 4.5 litres per Imperial gallon, or 3.8 litres per U.S. gallon, 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers, so that's...." Then my brain explodes and I have to pull over. :rant2:

I just like bright and unusual colored cars.

The 1960 Jeep Surrey!

Thanks bobkat - I worked on Vegas at a Chevy dealer in the mid 70s. That experience gets burned in your memory, like ex-wives, Vietnam, dysentery, etc. Mechanics called them the aborted child of a Corvair/Corvette orgy.

Yeah, I guess that horse was pretty much the very first chick-mobile, wasn't it...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_depth/uk/2000/newsmakers/1507606.stm

I have always liked the Jeep Surrey. Did ya know it also came in green & light blue? Most people only recall the bright pink. Not sure I'd drive one, it's a bit much. That Dodge Dart is in SUBLIME ~ whichwas the color of my 1970Dodge Challenger R/T 440 S.E. THE most outragious car I ever owned. You laughed at it or pointed & laughed, you got blown away to dust.

It was a study in contrastS !

THAT "Sublime" with a "formal roof" meaning vinyl covered with a small(er) enclosed "Formal" limo-style rear window, Chrome luggage rack on the trunk, Rally II wheels wearing red-line tires, with black & white checkerboard cloth interior, with black leather border. Overhead luxury console, hood pins, and over 30 OTHER options. Engine was the 440 4-Bbl. with H.D. Torqueflite Auto and 3.43:1 gearing. I was a crazy idiot with that car and raced it every day on the way home. I got pulled over weekly by the town's finest for "exceeding" the speed limit (DUH) and many street drag races. 71MPH in a 35 zone, and no ticket BECAUSE I worked the bids for the cop cars & signed off on the bids and I knew all the cops and we got all the sales of the cop cars in 2 towns. So, they'd have to stop me but I was just given a warning ('Ya, ahhh, like 3 warnings a week) I also ran the shop for a year and I scheduled the cop cars coming in for repair. Want you car later today? Bet ya do.
Had alot of fun, wish I could turn back the clock. Now-A-Daze I drive city limits, or slower in a Town Car. 4,400 pounds with 239 H.P.:yawn:

(and) it does flee by so very quickly, especially with offspring forcing yee to be mature, grown up, responsible, all-knowing, soother to wife, example to son, responsible to self, mortgage payer, bill payer, etc, etc. and then the days comes that the child graduates college (3 months away) and the mortgage is paid and and and and.....darn, you're too old to go back & "play" as you promissed yourself you'd do "one day" ~ ~ simply because you are NOW just too old to play, and the times have past ya by, several of your pals have died, others are sickly. It stinks. I need to learn golf, buy the white shoes, and the white pants & sit around the clubhouse and brag with the other old guys....but but but THEY ARE old.

double post, with a typo...

oooohhhhh SWEET !!! That was most certainly a chick-mobile in its time. Actually I learned to drive on one of those - my mom had one - not a ragtop but a red 1200 CC Vee Dub. Four on the floor, 45 HP air cooled 4 banger, seconday fuel tank (cuz believe it or not a fuel gage was an option..LOL), and a crappy gas heater that never worked right. BUT, no anti-lock brakes either which made it easy to do donuts in the empty mall parking lot in the winter !!! Great fun for 16 year old drivers with learner's permits...:thumbsup:

I did !! Two of them. Wife's 1988 Sedan de Ville (1988) and my 1986 Mark 7 in 1959 T-Bird Flamingo Pink ! We stopped trafiic when they were out in the driveway side-by-side. Cool Fun, ya only go round once....

http://i23.ebayimg.com/03/i/05/83/af/ba_12.JPGThat Lincoln was on ebay a couple of weeks ago. Did you sell it?

No, it's being sold by the guy I SOLD IT TO......It's still PURR-FECT, and with 18,000 miles in 20 years! He did not sell it. I think Ten Thou would, thou....it has every option and is flawless, never hit, as far as I've been told.
There should be a spare can (gallon) of paint in the trunk. Regardless, it's 1959 Thunderbird FLAMINGO, still very available at any automotive paint store. Pin stripe (Factory) and bodyside moulding & Interior are Maroon.

McCombie_5 I can't fit in a 'Vette, too hard for me to get in or out, as I don't bend so good on thedotted line any longer :crybaby: IF I bought anything, it would be another Town Car - 2006 the just released 25th Anniversary Commemorative Edition. 1,100 being made up, with plaque. It's Charcoal Grey with Black Shirred leather piped in silver with silver embroirdered Lincoln Stars, and Sterling Silver interior trim mouldings clearcoated to prevent tarnishing and power rear seat headrests that can disappear down into the seats. $ 24,100 Plus my curent 2003. Not sure about giving up the $ 24,100 right now......

It's Charcoal Grey....

I thought you hated those bland colors..:rolleyes:

I just love all the Mopar crazy colors of the 60's & 70's
Bahama Yellow, Rallye Green, Plum Crazy, Panthur Pink, Banana, Slublime, Green Go,Hemi Orange, an a personal fav. Dark Burnt Orange Metalic Found on the Cuda' :)

That sucks, do you think the 2012 Corvette will be any easier? I thought you said when you hit 65 it was a Vette.....

Damn! That Lincoln TC does sound nice though.

I could live with that charcoal grey, mainly because it's the FINAL BIG rear wheel drive Lincoln. The 2007 is a gift from HEII, designed by the devil!

Okay lets fix this:
There were others: Vitimin "C" and Plymouth's Plum Crazy was called "In-Violet", and then there was "Sno-White" "Limelight" (Plymouth's Sublime) and Plymouth's version of Panther Pink which was "Moulan Rouge" and Plymouth's version of Bahama Yellow: Bahama Mama and others too. There were some 1-month colors, too! Notably Basin Street Blues. Also Tor-Red and Curious Yella, & Sassy Grass Green.

We had 'em all lined up. Never thought to take pics :bigroll:

I took an order for a Bee Coupe in Sassy Grass Green with black vinyl buckets
and a steel top (no vinyl) Had the Bumble Bee stripe around the tush. Buyer cancelled
order. That Bee had a birthday there. In Stock 1 year ! Finally sold it at a $900.00 loss.

to cool

Would've loved to see a picture of that beast. In 10th grade one of my teachers had a '70 Dodge Dart "Super Bee" or some stupid name like that. Same weird green color. We all teased her about it -- accused her of really wanting a Pontiac GTO Judge but couldn't afford it on her teacher's salary.. LOL!! We were cruel to our teachers... HeHe:thepan:

I could live with that charcoal grey, mainly because it's the FINAL BIG rear wheel drive Lincoln. The 2007 is a gift from HEII, designed by the devil!

What's HEII ? "Splane it to me, Lucy" :confused:

HELL (typo)
Oh, Darts didn't come in "fancy" names. The ~HOT~ Dart was the GTS. The Mid-Size Coronet was the Super Bee, affectioately called "THE BEE" and and and and wait until SPRINGTIME of this year!!!


Just ya wait !! "The Bee is BAAACK" will be all over TV and car magazines!

Dodge Magnum Super Bee = SRT-8 425 Magnum 390 Torque.

B is Baaack, come see 'da Bee (You heard here...first !) ZZzzzzzzzzz

"Bumble Bee Yella"

Oh Heaven Forbid ... :shocked:

I never hung out with the Mopar crowd anyways...

Now if only Oldsmobile was still around they could bring back the Cutlass 442.:bouncy:

Ultimate Chick cars of the 1990's:

Honda Civic Del Sol
Mazda Miata


And yes, Mopar made some very cool colors from about '68-'72! :cool2:

Oh yeah... the Civic Del Sol. That's got to be the ultimate current chick-mobile of this era. No doubt about it. Just the way "Del Sol" rolls off your tongue says "Broads drive this". :rolleyes:

Speaking of broads.... how come all the posts on this thread so far have been from guys??

I can't believe you are ALL forgetting the first "chick car" marketed to women!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_La_Femme

LOL!!! I never even heard about that one. What a beauty.

Not sure if its been said, but dont forget the VW Beetle (new generation) and the entire lineup of Mercury.

I think it would be fun to go back to selling Dodges in 2007. Amazing the da ja vue (is that spelt correctly?) that I'd feel. All we need is the Dart & the Monaco and I'm good to roll. Don't think any dealer is goona give me a Challenger Hemi, this time, however. Guy I worked for was the greatest!! He was a semi drunk, and when he was on a binge, we slid all kinds of stuff past him. We didn't make alot of money but we had more fun than a barrel of monkeys. The stories I could tell........:lildevil: :fan:

LMAO !!! The entire Mercury lineup. HeHeHe

Hello...
Here's a few from days gone by...
Great Cars!

1957 Eldorado Seville and 1960 Eldorado Convertible?


For women with Class!

For women with Class!

...and rich husbands. :)

I'm too lazy to read the previous four pages, so don't kill me if this came up already. What about every minivan ever produced? Nothing screams soccer mom like a minivan. There is no way a dude can drive one and feel masculine. The print shop I used to deliver for had a Windstar, I felt like a total douche driving that thing!

I always thought my sister's first car was a pretty big chick car. She had a lipstick red 1990 Grand Am coupe. The fact that her friends all said it was "so cute" only reinforces this. God I hated that car, I'm glad she smashed the front of it and wound up with a 1994 Regal. That's a car I wouldn't be embarassed to be seen in.

The coolest minivan ever. Dad is cool again.

the only way dad could be cool in a minivan is if he had this :

That's cool, Stoneage. 350 in an Astro. Neat !!

What a PITA to do plugs on though...

Interesting, although I still think I'd take the Zafira VXR.

We used to get one of these too in 1999, a pontiac/other stuff in the GM lineup, with a Vauxhall badge on it, nobody bought it though.

I think they put the 2.2 Diesel in it also.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c249/mccombie_5/Stuff/T351NAK.jpg

THis may have been why nobody bought it:

These Pontiac "Montana" Minivans http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c249/mccombie_5/Stuff/T351NAK.jpg ~ ~ where were they built that wear the Vauxhall emblem and I.D. ?? Anybody know ??

I know that they werent European, definately imported from the states, but it must have been a factory that produced them with right hand drive, so it should be easy to tell where the cars were made, not more than one factory will have produced them with RHD, they only sold a few thousand of them, between 1997 and 1999. IIRC.

What about every minivan ever produced? Nothing screams soccer mom like a minivan. There is no way a dude can drive one and feel masculine. The print shop I used to deliver for had a Windstar, I felt like a total douche driving that thing!

I remember an especially funny episode of Car Talk (http://www.cartalk.com) on NPR when a guy called asking which car he should trade in: his Toyota Supra or his pregnant girlfriend's Honda Civic. Once they stopped laughing, Tom and Ray told him the Supra was history: "Might as well hike your pants up to your armpits, because once you get that minivan, your manhood is gone!"

I like repeating that story to my friend whose family is on their third minivan.

Holy crap!! That's one of the most horrific crash test pics I've ever seen. The worst I ever saw was of a Daewoo Leganza. The car was so mangled they had to use the jaws of life to get the dummy out. And this was in a control, scientific test. How they let death traps like these on the road is beyond me.

And GM expect you to carry your kids around in that thing!

Yeah, you really have to wonder... :confused:

I wonder how this thing would behave in a collision... they just hit the market here in Canada. Do you guys have them yet??

http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/9/web/2265000-2265999/2265087_12_full.jpg

Talk about the ultimate death trap; and yet the manufacturer says they are really quite safe... hmmm...

They hold up really well!! Honest!

I saw it soemwhere, they did really well in crash tests!

Crash Tests on the golf course, that is !! :thehand:

The passenger cell is the silver or black bodywork in the picture, and it is pretty much unkillable!

Well, let's ram that little thing head on into my Chev pickup with 600+ pounds of cast iron engine up front and we'll see which vehicle gets "killed".

Any other time I would think the same, but they hit it with a Mercedes E-Class, not a small car, and look at the results:

That thing is tiny, and very light, but it holds up extremely well, compared to a near two tonne minivan like this:

I didn't realise the passenger compartment was a crumple zone of minivans!

That there is a pay phone both on wheels for the golf course.

It's an MCC Smart ForTwo City Coupe, built by Mercedes Benz, the coloured panels are interchangeable, and you can have all sorts of designs, its a city car, that can fit into parking bays sideways.

MCC also have other cars, the MCC Smart Fortwo Convertible, the MCC Smart Crossblade, the MCC Smart Roadster, and the MCC Smart ForFour.

And finally, the Smart ForFour, this is a four door, five seat supermini, not as revoloutionary as the ForTwo, and quite expensive, but interesting nonetheless, this is available with 1.3 and 1.5 litre engines.

80's VW Cabrio. For ladies and gentlemen who wish they were ladies.

Those GM vans never did well in crash tests when it came to frontal offset ...The version you got in brittan was called the sinatra (tho oddly not named after frank) ...When they came out in 97 there was some buzz about how it was also desgined for europe ...which is how they explaind away its small size comapred to the grand caravan ....

The van i use for work is a 05 Relay , from the windshield back its the same as the 97 model , but GM put ALOT of work into makeing it crashworthy , beefed up floorpan and subframe ...but it looks even more dorky since they tried it make it look more like a sport ute
looks exactly like this one:
http://www.mavel.com/forecast/Detroit_Autoshow/saturn-relay-1.jpg

its gutless , dorky and totally pathetic ..at least it got the igger 3.9 OHV varible valve v6 for this year ....but they wont replace mine yet ....couldnt be becuse im asking for a 07 Escalade ....Im tired of looking like a dork , and tired of explaing to customers why im takeing them home in a crumy saturn van ...

but i do like the dash in it

As for the smart , they did ALOT of artic testing up the road from the base i worked at in alaska , those little roadsters were kinda cool ....but my G20 would out run them (got one to race me that had all that black tape and plastic on it)...one of the most interesting "kills"

Boy, half the cost and I wonder if it handles as good as Lotus Elise / 90's MX-5

What is this? The slot car thread?

Rofl!!!!!!!!!

I dunno.. From what the website says the Brabus Model Rear Engine I-3 Turbo 101Hp and only weighs 1700lbs. Shows 0-62 in about 9 seconds. Bout 2 seconds slower then my 1900lbs Miata. Only down side no manny, its a manumatic.

Hey, I almost bought one of those - had it all spec'd up and priced, and was just waiting for the salesman to get back to me with a delivery date. I never heard any more from him, so bought the Toyota Spyder instead. That was probably a good outcome, actually!

Theyre pretty good apparently, they are a bit different to the norm, the Brabus Coupe's are nicer thant he convertible model though, I think the convertible is a sort of pick up truck looking thing.

I would of course, drive all of these cars, in pink, because if you drive a girl's car, girls will want to drive it, and that means you get girls :)

There is also the MINI Convertible.

....I would of course, drive all of these cars, in pink, because if you drive a girl's car, girls will want to drive it, and that means you get girls :).....Of course, the flip side to that is you might attract unwanted attention from guys with an 'alternate' mindset...... :eek:
