Thank you, Anthony! (And everybody else who replied.) It defnitely looks like you found it.
I might add that the lady behind the car is Marilyn Monroe, probably stepping out of one of the 20th Century Fox studios, and I'm just trying to find a possible or approximate date for the shot. At first I was thinking it may have been one of her own cars, she owned and drove a few, but then I realized that it might just as well be one from a Limo service, which I know she/the studio used quite a lot. If anybody knows when this model it first hit the market you'll win a virtual Marilyn Monroe-badge.
