Below, a 1930's something pic of a Ford V8, in front of Freemason Hotel, in Lismore, Australia (New South Wales)

The lady is Aloha_Wanderwell-Baker (real name), who was (not in this car) the first woman to drive herself (i.e., no chauffeur) around the world (from 1922 to 1927).

Diahann_Carroll, actor, somewhere in the late 1950's (she would have been in her early 20's), right before she made it "big". Died about five years ago at about age 85.

Asserted to be be a 1953 Ford Customline. Couple different folks next to same car, though second car looks different (Another year? Not even a Ford?)

I believe that is a '52 Mercury Monterey in the second pic. The rocker trim and side spear are the clues.

Plus the fact that it says "Monterey" on the side of the car!

That's true, but the other features nail down the year.

Spokesmodel for a 1954 Nash. not sure what's on her righ side, something to do with this publicity shot - swimsuit plus parka? In a Nash?

let's see ol' Liz Taylor again. Here circa 1960, somewhere in a bathing suit. She'd be somewhere around age 30.

Betty_Grable, June 1943.

Cannot determine which car it is. You whippersnappers (including me)? She was our dads/granddad's "IT" girl when they were young men.

Tame stuff by today's standards of course, but in the '30's-'40's, and if they had such an award - which they didnt, she was the sexiest woman alive.
