Two women are famously associated with pink Cadillacs: Aretha Franklin, who sang about one in "Freeway of Love," and Mary Kay Ash, who rewarded top employees at her cosmetic company with the iconic autos.

Now, a Mary Kay national sales director has put out a call for Mary Kay employees and non-affiliated pink Cadillac owners alike to turn out for Franklin's funeral.

Crisette Ellis has been a national sales director with Mary Kay since 2002. Her husband, Detroit pastor Bishop Charles H. Ellis III, runs the Greater Grace Templ, where Franklin's private funeral is taking place. The two of them are working together to bring dozens of pink Cadillacs into the city.

Owners of the cars will park them outside Greater Grace and be able to attend the funeral, according to an online solicitation for the drivers. Interested parties can sign up here.
