Otto, though Arunas identified the lady as Angela Little (McKenzie), you're saying, it's not her?

I should have been clearer. The car (truck) was not right, nor was the girl.

So to make it absolutely clear. Though this picture is captioned as showing Angela Little, this is a case of bad captioning

One of us has a miss-captioned picture.

Well, it appears I' mucked up another one.

Let's re-set this one, using the child's picture. A consolation point to Arunas for my flub.  

Here's another clue to get us back on track. No, it's not the little girl grown up, but she is linked to the same vehicle. I'm probably giving this one away, but you've been a patient bunch of lads, and deserve a break for your trouble.

Is the girl Heather O'Rourke in the TV series "Happy Days"? The car would be the Gene Winfield 1929 Ford.

Not her; not that car.

Cindy Eilbacher and Ann Southern?  If so, then the car would be a Norm Breedlove modification of Norm Grabowski's modified 1924 Ford T-tub, that he (Breedlove) would turn into a ficticious "1928 Porter" for the TV series "My Mother The Car".

The power train was the rod-grade 283 cu in V8 (Chevrolet small-block) engine mated with Powerglide automatic transmission. The ‘Porter’ was registered (as a modified Ford) in 1964 with the contemporary yellow-on-black California license plates PZR 317 evident throughout the show's run.

The girl, the car's voice, and the car.
