Is that Anne Francis?

There is some resemblance, but I don't think so. The car behind looks like a 62 Chevy. There's already rust forming at the bottom of the fender and quarters at the corner of the bumper. I just don't see a big star like Anne being that excited to drive a 5-6 year old Ford. I think it's just a couple of random, happy suburban housewives on the loose for a day.

REminds me more of the Beach Boys' song, "Fun, fun, fun!" till her Daddy took the Fairlane away.

Sometimes the mole was covered, but yeah, there's that.
