Hiya Barbie!
Hi Ken! You want to go for a ride? Jump in! It’s 21st July which means it’s officially Barbie Day. These past few months have seen a rise in the Barbie-mania – from Barbie-themed X-box consoles to exclusive Barbie clothing ranges - the Barbie movie has taken over the internet, and that includes Auto Trader! In just one month after the release of the official Barbie Movie trailer, ad views for pink convertibles increased by 93%, while searches for Chevrolet Corvette convertibles went up by 120% compared to last year on Auto Trader. And oh my, there are some spectacular Barbiecore cars to be found on Auto Trader. Barbiecore, for the uninitiated, is the new trend for all things pink and stylish in anticipation of the movie. It forms part of a wider trend for brighter, bolder, mood-boosting colours and schemes (as seen in Fiat’s decision to no longer make grey cars) and frankly, we're here for it. Here are our top Barbiecore cars available on Auto Trader today:

1. Chrysler Windsor 1952 – the year it all began
In 1952, history was made and the first-ever Barbie was introduced to the world. Today, a mint-condition Barbie from the 1950s can be worth thousands.
So, a special year deserves a special car - like this Chrysler Windsor advertised on Auto Trader by a private seller. It’s bubble-gum pink, retro and American, and it’s been signed by Fast N’ Loud’s Richard Rawlings.

2. Austin Healey 1962 – Barbie’s first-ever car
Barbie got her first-ever car – an Austin Healey - in 1962. And believe it or not, the Healey is available to buy on Auto Trader for £59,995. It was released in the same year and has the same colour as Barbie’s first car, so your Barbie car collection can’t get more vintage than this.
3. Fiat 500 – limited-edition Barbie Fiat
To celebrate 50 years of Barbie, Fiat launched this super-stylish, limited-edition Fiat 500 in Barbie Pink, which is available to buy on Auto Trader.
It’s super cute and the perfect car to drive your Ken around in. What’s more, you can buy the same car’s miniature from Mattel so that your Barbie can have the same car as you. Priced originally at £11,700, it’s up for grabs on Auto Trader for just £5,490.

4. Chevrolet Corvette – same as Barbie’s C1 generation
When we think of Barbie and Ken driving around Malibu along the palm trees lined streets, most of us think of them driving the iconic Chevrolet Corvette that Barbie is so closely associated with.
In the Barbie Movie too, you can see Margot Robbie driving a Chevrolet C1 Corvette from Barbie Land to the Real World. So, if you’re after a Chevy Corvette yourself, we’ve found the perfect match - it's the same C1 generation as Barbie’s Corvette. This fiery Red Chevy available on Auto Trader is from 1961 and a two-seater which makes it perfect for a date night with Ken.

5. Mercedes-Benz E Class – pink limo for a Barbie party
A private seller has put this pink Mercedes-Benz E-Class up for sale on Auto Trader and it’s the perfect party vehicle to get the Barbies together.
Yes, a six-door limousine may not be practical for your day-to-day journeys in Barbie Land, but life in plastic is fantastic. So, grab the glittery streamers and the fluffy bedsheets and come on Barbie, let’s go party!

Now the only thing we need is a water slide connecting the campervan to a pool to make it a true Barbie-style campervan.
