Who is that girl - and what is she driving?

For 1 point, identify this young lass, the vehicle she's in, and the builder of the vehicle.

Colleen Townsend, selected "Miss Safety First" by the Southern California Timing Association, poses in a streamlined car, made from an airplane belly tank mounted on a Ford frame in Los Angeles, Calif., Jan. 21, 1948. The car, built by Bill Burke, is powered by an inverted Mercury Motor, mounted in the tail, and has been clocked at better than 139 miles per hour.

The car can be seen also in this nice picture:

That did not afford the long-lasting fun I had imagined.  :D
