I'm glad I saw pics of a pink bird. It's not quite what I pictured in my head and that's a lot of pink for me. I'm rethinking the pink and considering a lot of other colors right now. If I had an original pink bird I wouldn't change it though. I saw in an old post someone said a salesman told him the Playboy Playmates would get a pink bird. I saw in this link that Playboy gave pink Camaros (in addition to birds?).
"In July of 1969 my Grandparents purchased a 1968 Camaro that had been sitting a while on the lot at Courtesy Chevrolet in Santa Clara, CA. They needed a new car to drive to Arizona where I was to be born in a couple of months and since the car had been slow to sell the price was right. The car was a bit different in that it was a special order that wound up not being delivered to the customer it was originally intended for. Playboy had placed an order through COPO for 50 pink 1968 Camaros to be distributed to playmates through the year. They only took delivery of about 30-40 of them. The rest wound up being sent to dealers. This was one of them....and yes, I said it was pink. This was my Grandmothers car for close to 35 years. They drove it all over CA on vacations and fishing trips. In fact, to this day there are bait shops and mountain lodges that I go to and when I mention my Grandparents people say, "Oh the couple with the pink Camaro!" "
