C1 Corvette
In the Barbie film, the lead character Barbie, played by Margot Robbie, drives a vintage pink Chevrolet Corvette C1 referencing the era when the Barbie doll was first launched in 1959. The iconic Chevrolet Corvette C1 was the inaugural generation of Chevy’s legendary Corvette sports car. With her pink C1 ‘Vette, Barbie authentically channels the classic 1950s American car culture that prevailed when she was introduced to the world as a doll. Driving the cherished first-gen Corvette pays homage to Barbie’s origins while also exhibiting the free-spirited independence and adventurous qualities that have made her an enduring symbol of femininity and empowerment for over 60 years.
