Evidently Pontiac wasn't included.

The first pink car was Mary Kay's personal car, a 69 Cadillac. Pink cars for their sales people came in later years.
Search "Mary Kay pink" in these forums for other discussions which may have more research. There used to be mention of the 69 Cadillac on the Mary Kay website under history.
Any pink cars built earlier were other promotional programs, notably Nancy Sinatra, some Playboy cars, who knows what else. I recall pink 67 or 68 Mustangs in my neighborhood when they were new, and I recall a pink Javelin or AMX mentioned in one or our 80s or 90s muscle/collector magazines.
Maybe Pontiac just made it available just because. It was one of four 1968 "Spring colors".
