Ferrari 750 Monza?

[Otto Puzzell]

A Ferrari, but not that one.

[nicanary]

500TRC?

[Ray B.]

I think she is Nadine Tallier (the future Baroness de Rothschild), when she was a film starlet.
Here she is seen posing with a different kind of beast.

[nicanary]

All women looked the same back then - they were made in New Jersey by some guy called Stepford. He also experimented on animals, and you will note that he has worked on a pushmepullyou by amputating one of the heads.

Was she a starlet, or related to the cars owner or driver?

 :lmao:

You got some chops, friend  - you,ll do well here!

[woodinsight]

Was the photo taken in Europe?

Sorry, I see there was a serious question in there, too. The answer is 'yes'.

[Otto Puzzell]

Was the photo taken in Europe?

No

[nicanary]

Right. Is it Ava Gardner during filming of the movie "On The Beach", sitting in a Ferrari at Riverside Raceway or Phillip Island?

[Otto Puzzell]

Not Ava Gardner

[Ray B.]

If Nicanary hadn't warned us that all women looked the same back then, I'd have said that this girl looks like Ava Garner as the car looks a Cadillac!

[nicanary]

It could be Ava after she'd just smelled something nasty! Sorry to be pedantic, but the reply about the lady was a bit ambiguous - is she a starlet OR related to the driver or team owner?

[Otto Puzzell]

That was intentional - one question at a time is the norm here. But in this case, as you are a recent joiner, I'll let you know she was an actress.

[Ray B.]

Diane Varsi?

[Otto Puzzell]

Not her
