The Jupiter 8 was a two-seat sports car marketed to the inhabitants of the planet 892-IV. It was first viewed by the crew of the USS Enterprise in the television news footage upon entering orbit of the planet. ... The Jupiter 8 was "played" by the Reactor, a custom aluminum show car designed by Gene Winfield and completed in 1965. The Reactor was based on a 1956 Citroën DS chassis and powered by a Chevrolet Corvair engine. The hand-built car featured electronically-operated doors, hood and roof. It was painted metallic green. ... Its fleeting appearance as the Jupiter 8, warranted the shooting of a number of publicity shots with William Shatner in the guise of Captain James T. Kirk, posing with and in the car.
The Reactor Mach II was built by automotive artist Gene Winfield in 1965. According to Memory Alpha, "The Reactor was based on a 1956 Citroen DS chassis and powered by a Chevrolet Corvair engine. The hand-built car featured electronically-operating doors, hood and roof." It also had an aluminum body, which would have crumpled upon impact. ... It made a third and final appearance in the Star Trek episode "Bread and Circuses," where the car was given the name "Jupiter 8" and appeared in a television commercial. (We surmise that the above photo was taken during the filming of the episode.) ... Winfield also designed the Galileo 7 shuttle used in the Star Trek episode of the same name.
The Reactor has retired from TV life and now lives at Darryl Starbird National Rod & Custom Hall of Fame.

I always thought she looked better as herself than Elvira.
You are not wrong, I don't recall what movie it was but in the credits she was dancing without her makeup an wig. Very sexy, she had a great pair of legs and ass that no one seem to notice. But as a leg and butt guy I noticed.
