Curious if anyone knows what may have happened to this car.

The first car given to a Playmate was in 1964 (a pink 64 Ford Mustang convertible).

For ‘66 the Playmate of the Year - Allison Parks - was given the choice for a new Dodge Charger; which she opted for because she had children, and wanted something to carry them around in. The car came with a 383, don’t know if 2 or 4bbl.

66 would be a 4 bbl. I think somewhere I have the magazine it was pictured in. But some of the mags go back into the 50`s. Where to look?

playboy started ‘53. The photo shoot with this car would’ve been either at the tail end of 66 or very beginning of 67. Possibly the November 66 magazine but don’t quote me.
 
rose pink?
and there was at least 2 of them made in pink,ive seen both over the years.
they came up for air somewheres in like 2005? ish i think.
havet seen nor heard about them since,back then it was a big deal.
both were down south at that time.
if i recall correctly,it started off with the one that got restored first,
looking for parts and info and then the unrestored one came out of storage,and was near mint.

Allison Parks: her real name was Gloria Waldron. She passed away on June 10th 2010 from heart failure at the age of 68 or '9. She did a buncha modeling, ads and commercials; was married and had two kids.

1966 saw a new playmate in the form of the famous redhead, Allison Parks. She was given the choice for a new Dodge Charger, which stopped the open top trend that was brewing with the first two ladies. She opted for the Dodge because she had children, and wanted something to carry around them in. Which with the 383 V8, gave her plenty of power to haul around a little more if needed.

1966 was the first year for the Coronet based Charger. With a fastback roofline and a hid away grille, there wasn’t much too different from its sister car. Popular sales ensured its survival for the next 2 years till a redesign made the Charger the name it’s famous for today. In ’66 only one color that could be even closely associated with pink, was Mauve (a light metallic purple). It wasn’t until 1970 that the Hi-Impact colors were introduced, including in it color code FM3, known better as Panther Pink for the Dodges, and Moulin Rouge for Plymouth.

This is the first of the few I couldn’t seem to find where it went, lost among the almost 37,000 non-Hemi motored Chargers built that year. Which I found as a shame, and only left me wondering where this unusually painted early icon went to.
 
Probably got repainted, sold a billion times, and wound up in a scrap yard somewhere...
