Looks like a pre war/B & W movie star. The face looks familiar. She had a high pitched voice I think. Can't remember the name @ the moment.
Hmmm...
Up
Could she be a very young Jane Russell?
No, not her.
Ann Blyth and Ford?
No, not her.
Claudette Colbert, Dodge?
No, not her. Also looking for more specificity on the automobile (not just a brand, in other words)
I was looking at a commercial the other day that had an Ann Somebody (sound miscue. Either accidental or deliberate) shilling the 1954 Kaiser Manhattan.
No, not her.
I think I have figured who and the brand. Now I am trying to figure out what the specifics are you want.
Okay. Are we talking about Gale Storm and the Oldsmobile Rocket 98?
And not the fact that she was in one episode of the Ford Television Theatre?
No, not her.
Was she photographed with the puzzle car when she was blonde?
I've not seen her in the same photo with the car. There's probably a good reason for that. ;)
I've only seen this young woman with dark hair, which was part of her trademark look..
Could she be Ruth Ford?
No, not her.
But you've hit upon something about her name. Her last name is similar to the name of a car brand, though not the one you mentioned.
American?
The doll, or the car? ;)
The car.
Yes, the car is American
Ok. How about the woman? American?
Not born is the US, but born to American parents who lived elsewhere when she was born.
Is/was she an actress?
No
A question to clarify:
Her name, that is similar to that of a car brand, is, or is not the name of the car that she is most associated with?
Her name is similar (not identical) to that of a car brand. The brand of car with which she is associated is a different one.
Is her name similar to an American car brand?
One last question and then I am through asking questions.
Was she a singer or a model?

Yes; she and the automobile brand are both long-since expired.

No
Was the puzzle car named in her honor after her death?
Not at all.
Was the puzzle car a work of her fiction?
It was a real car, available to the masses at their local _____________ dealer.
Anna Hope Dale Biddle and the car was R. Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion!
No, but the answer you had typed and deleted was very close - the last name was misspelled, but it was otherwise correct.
I have spelled this name a dozen different ways and still have nothing but the original picture.
I will continue to perservere.
I'm not sure why you're stuck on that name. Oh well...
Say, what's she smokin', Joe?
Is her name more similar to Lozier than Mercer?
Somewhat.
I though my previous clue was a knockout. :shiner:
Your clue was a knockout and I was too punchdrunk to see it coming. Sometimes you can just get too close.
We are talking socialite Brenda Frazier and her Studebaker Land Cruiser!
That's it!
Oddly, it is said Ms. Frazier couldn't drive. Famous for being famous, Brenda later became a depressed recluse.
Here's a clearer shot of the ad, from happier times.
