The Volo Museum, world-renowned for its collection of famous and one-of-a-kind vehicles, is unlocking its vault to offer collectors a rare opportunity: a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own the only known real Barbie car in the hands of the public, company officials stated in a press release. This official Barbie Pink Convertible, a custom Cadillac built by Disney and used at Walt Disney World in Orlando from 1990 to 1998, is going to auction with no reserve, alongside dozens of other iconic, unusual, and bizarre museum pieces. The seven-day online auction begins August 1 and ends August 7, 2025, and anyone with an eBay account can bid.
Originally painted white and featured in parades as Cruella de Vil’s DeVille, the Cadillac was later repainted in Barbie’s signature pink and became the ride of the world’s most iconic doll. It also saw use by Miss Piggy during its time at Disney.
The Pink Cadillac Is Both a Barbie & Disney Collectible
The Barbie car is a documented Disney show vehicle, complete with Disney registration showing a VIN in Walt Disney’s name, as well as internal documentation and email correspondence outlining how it was used in park productions. This makes it both a Barbie collectible and a Disney collectible, a rare cross-category gem for serious fans and collectors, noted the release.
“This is the only one of its kind available to the public,” said Brian Grams, director of the Volo Museum. “You will never find another Barbie car like this with official Disney registration and documented park history.”

The Barbie Cadillac is the crown jewel of an eclectic lineup that includes:
