Does anyone know if it was possible to order a 77-78 biarritz in pink (or rose)? The standard Biarritz colors in 78 were blue, white, red, brown, and yellow. Not sure about 77, but in either case, it would seem that rose could have been special ordered.

If so, any idea how many may have been ordered this way? with moonroof?

Most Mary Kay Cadillacs have been Sedans de Ville with no options at all (when I bought my '96, the only cars on the lot with cloth interiors were MK's), but I have seen a couple of final-generation Eldorados in Mary Kay Pink. I'm guessing they go to either super saleswomen or to those high up in the company, so it may be that a pink '77 or '78 Eldo could have been a Mary Kay car.

In 1977 it was still possible to order Cadillacs in special order colors.
The dealer I worked for brought in over 40 such cars during that
model year.  One was a '77 Eldo in 1959 Seminole Red with white
cabriolet top and white interior.  I don't recall if it was a Biarritz.
Another '77 Eldo we got was pink.

I think it was probably possible to special order a '77 Biarritz with pink
or rose paint.  Look under the hood at the body ID plate and see
what it says in the line with the letters PNT. 

You can safely assume that any '77 or '78 Biarritz with a true special order
paint job and Astro Roof (Moon Roof was for Lincolns) would be very
unusual and possibly unique.  Assumption is probably all you'll ever have to
go on; GM does not release such detailed production details to hobbyists
and may not have tracked such details.
