For one point: Who is the alluring blonde, and with what car is she uniquely associated?

Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!

Long shot: Could it be Jayne Mansfield who was killed in a Buick Electra?  The hair is the right colour.
