Doll News Winter 2021 - 97

The 1964 " World of Barbie® " slogan has evolved over the last 60 plus years, reflecting each
decade's noteworthy fashion styles, pop culture and vehicles. Barbie, Ken, and the other dolls in their
" Family and Friends Collection " have had a variety of modes of transportation to take them from
their various homes to the " Barbie and Skipper School ® " (1965, Sears exclusive) and " Barbie Goes to
College ® " (1964 to 1965 Sears exclusive). From there they could go to the " Sweet Shop " then to the
" Campus Drive-in Movie Theater, " or to star in plays at " The Barbie and Ken Little Theatre ® " (1964).
For variety they could shop at the " Barbie Fashion Plaza ® " (1975 and released with the new Barbie
trademark in 1976) or to go see " The Sun Set " at Malibu Beach.
Well-known automakers partnered with Mattel to have their trademark designer cars associated
with the Barbie brand. Mattel also produced several unbranded models throughout the years.
Additionally, multiple makes and models were available in different colors.
Collectors of Barbie vehicles generally see that the demand for the branded vehicles on the
secondary market has increased. Several factors contribute to a particular vehicle's collectability
and ultimate value. Key factors include the popularity of the automaker's brand and the rarity
of the make and model. The presence of all original parts, especially for those vehicles that have
extraordinary detailing, also factors in. Special and limited-edition items generally trend toward
being more prized by collectors. None of the Barbie affiliated vehicles however, were produced as a
numbered limited edition though some ended up being made in small quantities.

The Barbie vehicles of the 1960s were made with permission and
manufacturing license given to the Irwin Corporation (New York) from
Mattel. Rolling off the production line as the first vehicle was " Barbie's
Sports Car " (1962 to1964). This sports car was an Austin-Healey MKII,
the same automobile that Elliot Handler, co-founder of Mattel drove.
This sports car came in lavender, turquoise, red, beige and coral. Many
have faded in color throughout the years, though it has not significantly
altered their value or collectability. Barbie had a fashion entitled " #985
Open Road " (1961 to 1962) to coordinate with the imaginative play on
the open roads. Included with the ensemble was a two-sided 'Mattel
Road Map' depicting the continental United States on one side and part
of California on the other, showing the drive to the city of Hawthorne,
where Mattel's International Corporate headquarters was up until 1990.
