Haha, I actually do remember a tiny driver's license that came with Barbie and her pink convertible Corvette. I think it was pink and blue, and it had Barbie's picture on it.

Wait, so that little girl in the ad is the real Barbara Millicent Martin...? Or not, I might be confused by the context of the title. Because iirc, the creator of Barbie created jt for his daughter, who was also named Barbie.... right? (Fair warning, my Barbie knowledge has dwindled as I've grown up.)
