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.

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.

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?

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..

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.
