This person is much less famous that Betty. Perhaps Pro expertise is required?

OK - halfway solved! You've got a 24 hour exclusive.

BTW, I don't think she actually drove the car. This shot was taken at an auto show.

Might as well leave it open...

I've looked all over, and find the name of the girl.
