Mary Kay’s Dallas-Born National Icon Celebrates Birthday in Style

Don’t let the pale pearlized pink paint deceive you – the Mary Kay Pink Cadillac is neither blush nor bashful and at 45 years young, she’s never looked better. Never one to shy away from a good time, the Mary Kay Pink Cadillac celebrated her 45th birthday surrounded by 30,000 of her closest friends at Mary Kay’s annual Seminar in Dallas today.

Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultants celebrated the 45th birthday of the iconic pink Cadillac at the beauty company's annual convention in Dallas on Friday, August 1, 2014. Since the inception of the career car program in 1969, nearly 22,000 pink Cadillacs have been awarded to top achievers within Mary Kay's independent sales force who have enjoyed rolling in style for 45 years.
