I don't think this was made by Mattel but I could be wrong. This was my ultimate favorite Barbie convertible.
The words I can make out on the box are:
"Fun car"
"___ ___ opens to hold accessories"

Being the total weirdo that I am, when Barbie wasn't looking I'd put my little feet into the passenger seats and sit on the trunk, then proceed to wheel myself around the room with my hands.
...Yeah. ::)

That's hilarious.
Here is a picture I found of the same car but with white seats. I'm going to go ahead and say that it's definitely not Mattel--For one thing, the Barbie logo is nowhere on the package.

Around what year would this be, do you think?
-
I'd say this was around 1994 - 1996. Good point about the Barbie logo. :P
Ahh I love that car..!!

maybie it is a knock off of some sort or a borrowed molding ?

It's definitely off-brand. I think that Barbie cars have always been modeled after actual cars, and this one looks too cartoony to be a real car (although I don't know cars very well!)
I found that Meritus made some Barbie-sized cars in the 90's and thought I had a good lead, but the packaging isn't right.
-
Bump. ;)

Apparently it is the "Fun Car" - Tim Mee Toy (by Processed Plastic Co.)
No box - I guessing the maker is marked on the car somewhere? And the "Fun Car" is just a guess of the name based off of the license plate. I wonder if the symbol on the front and the back is from whatever line this toy was? It's not the Tim Mee Toy Logo. :)

Perhaps if you contacted the company they could give you more information? :)

OH, the nostalgia! I remember having the blue/pink car most of my childhood. I even remember waiting for my mom to put the stickers on for me. Good memories.

Haha. Swanky! That company also made a car that is a stretch limo with a pool in the back!

Holy cow! I had the limo!! I forgot about that!! My sister and I would spend hours playing with it!

Hey zuse I'm soooo sorry about the months-late reply!
I have emailed the company and I will let you all know what they say ASAP.
I am so excited.. I'd totally buy this thing again in a heartbeat. (only this time I'd keep my happy bum well away from it ..... ;D)
Thank you everyone for helping me out here!

I'm sorry you missed the post when I first found it! There were a few lose ones on eBay but I don't see any (or at least any that are labelled well enough) up at the moment.
They also had a Jeep Cherokee. :-P
But I like your car way better (and the limo, of course!)

Ooh man, if I had the room I'd buy all the varieties. That shade of pink is so cute with the pearly white.
I'll definitely keep an eye out!

Hey, I know this is a really late reply but I have one of these limo/pool cars. Did you ever find one? Anyone interested in it? A friend told my daughter she had a pink barbie limo for sale. Of course my 7 yr old wanted it. She saves up her money and waited for it, when it got to the house i waa disappointed because its totally not what I expected.

Here was a blue one on eBay. The decals have seen better days.
