WWWW by Ray B. #558 - Vampira and her "Little Red Fury"

It's been some time...
Another 4W puzzle. It's a 2 points puzzle, but only a complete answer will secure them.

The 4 questions are all in the topic's title:
Who is this rather well-known lady, how was this car it called, where and when was this picture taken.

If you haven't registered yet, you need to do so in order to reply.
If you have not done so, please familiarize yourself with the AutoPuzzles Rules before attempting to solve this puzzle.

I posted  this just before a sudden fever among bulk puzzlers. Then it fell into a kind of black hole.
Moved to the experts' section.

Is the puzzle photo meant to be a recreation of an historical event?

Is the car based on a Model A Ford?

To speak the truth, I don't know anything about what this car is based on. But I know what she called it, and I know much more about the girl.

That makes me ask if she was a stripper or other "adult entertainer."

Not Aloha. She was born, and died, some years later.

When she died, I think the vehicle was a rust bucket and long forgotten.

Idris Galcia Hall (Aloha Wanderwell) was born in 1906.  Can I interpret your statements to mean that the car is pre-1906?  Or are you saying that the woman in the pictures was born and died after 1906 or...I don't exactly understand what you're saying.

Well the car is well post-1906.
The wheels and what you can see of the underpinnings, as you spotted a fortnight ago, seem to be Model A Ford - whether she called it that or not!
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

@RayTheRat:
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough: I meant that the puzzle girl was born later than Aloha, and died later than Aloha too.
If you know the year of Aloha's death, you can guess that the car in the picture (if it is based on a model A, a Allan supposes from its underpinnings, and he is usually good at it) would have been quite old when the puzzle girl did die too. But it's obviously post 1906.
By long forgotten I just meant that I don't think that she kept it until her death...

Thanks for the clarification.  I'll keep looking.
