You may call it that.
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.
RtR
When she died, I think the vehicle was a rust bucket and long forgotten.

@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...
was the pictures taken 1940's?Later
That last picture gave me an idea, and I think I know who the lady is now...This puzzle will be locked until maybe wednesday for the puzzler who identifies the girl. I can answer until monday morning GMT, then I'm away 3 days.
But I can't find the car. :(
Still, some elements (including of course Maila herself) are related to movies.
It's a period Kodacolor print, bearing the precise date on the back (and the full answer to the puzzle question). The colors seem not to have faded too much, but the photographic paper aged and got a yellowish tone, hence the greenish sky.
I don't have the print myself, but found a scan on the internet.
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.
That's 2 points for Ray.
And you were right about the supposed "candy apple red"color, according to this testimony:
Baby Jane Fury wasn't actually candy apple red (clear red oversilvergold), she was just red. It isn't visible in this photo, because maybe it was a later addition, but Maila told me that the car also had some pinstriping done in a daisy design.
This may indicate that she did knew Von Dutch, although the guy in the picture above, even with the third eye on his forehead, doesn't really look like him.

I always thought "Dirty Harry" was written by Rita M. Fink and her husband, Harry Julian?!
