Own a Piece of Disney History: Barbie’s Pink Cadillac from EPCOT Hits the Auction Block
The Volo Museum has put this iconic piece of niche 1990s Disney nostalgia up for auction.
Fans of niche EPCOT offerings from the 1990s can join the auction for Barbie’s Pink Convertible that once called the Walt Disney World theme park home.
