According to a series of 1960s novels published by Random House, Barbara Millicent Roberts—yes, that’s Barbie’s full name—grew up in the fictional town of Willows, Wisconsin. She likely didn’t venture far from home in her early years, maybe because she couldn’t. Forced for decades to walk on her tippy toes, Barbie was in desperate need of some wheels. She finally got her first car in 1962.AA warns drivers to avoid puddles in case they're perilous potholes after a record month of related breakdowns And what did the fashionable 11.5-inch-tall doll drive in ’62? A Corvette, you say? Nah, Babs didn’t own America’s Sports Car until America celebrated its 200th birthday in 1976. An iconic Volkswagen Beetle? Nope, that came later too. Mattel decided the perfect car for a teenage girl living in cold-weather Wisconsin was … wait for it … an Austin-Healey 3000 MKII. Maybe it had snow tires? One thing it didn’t have was a top. The second car in the Barbie garage kept the convertible aesthetic alive. The 190SL is one of the most iconic Mercedes ever made – the perfect for the most iconic doll ever. In today’s money, this would be the most expensive car in Barbie’s collection, and is sought after by motoring enthusiasts around the world. So what about Ken Carson? (Yes, he has a last name too .) The muscle-bound doll—sorry dude, we can’t really call you an action figure—is two years younger and a half-inch taller than Barbie, but he looks up to her in the automotive department. In fact, we could find only two just-for-Ken automobiles: the 1984 Ken Dream ’Vette and the 2012–13 Ken Mini Cooper.

With the release of the Barbie Ferrari in 1987, the world’s most-popular doll took her wheels to the next level. Marketed as the Red-Hot Barbie Ferrari, it came in red – understandably. The (very 80s) commercial showed Ken jumping in the passenger seat and Barbie taking him for a spin. There's little for Hagerty to put a value on this unique Barbie car other than the closest equivalent in the real world, which was a 2003 chassis sold by RM Sotheby's last year for CHF16.4million Barbie, the leggy doll that Mattel brought to life in 1959, recently celebrated her 60th birthday, and although she can be a bit controversial (hey, she didn’t choose her measurements), she’s much more than just a pretty face.

(A Boxster came later.) Admittedly, the F40 Owner’s Manual set doesn’t have quite the allure of being handed the keys to an F40 and told to go use up all the rubber on the tyres.

Sold in purple and pink variations for Europe and the US respectively, the Star-Vette was appropriately adorned with stars and stripes decals. The first Porsche in Barbie’s collection, this 911, added in 1992, maintained the convertible tradition. Complete with real working headlights and BARBIE plates, the iconic 911 started our gal’s obsession with Porsches – she later became the proud owner of a Porsche Boxster too. The sports car favourite in the US is also the most consistent model in Barbie's six-decade collection. Having first taken to the controls of a 964-generation 911 cabriolet with working headlights, she later moved on to a red-on-tan Boxster with a motorised, retractable roof.
