Here are a few aftermarket figures that can be used with diecast cars for display or photographic purposes. The first two gals are 1/24 scale and shown next to a 1955 Oldsmobile and a 1957 Chevrolet.
Next is a figure of an extremely healthy young female in a red jump suit standing next to an Ertl 1985 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and an individual rear view.
Then there is a 1/64 scale Mercury diorama available with a garage and figure from MotorMax and sold with a clear display case.
There are then 4 attractive girls wearing not very much and coming in at about 1/9 scale and picked up at a resale shop new many years ago. They could be used with very big scale cars or sized photographically to place with any scale.
The next image shows several together with a 1/64 scale man, an ominous 1/18 scale man getting his "pocket watch" out and a 1/9 scale seated young gal.
Finally, the last two girls were done many years ago in the computer. These could be used photographically or printed up and placed with a diecast car.

good stuff Mike did you paint them yourself? I have a couple of great unpainted figures that came with a kit I'm working on, I'll have a go at them, only God knows how they will turn out!

No, Geoff, I didn't paint any of these actual figures although I clothed the digital computer girls. Some 3D actual figures come unpainted and it takes a steady hand to paint them properly but they can look great and make for a fine display or to photograph.

Interesting figures Mike. I note that in sales, there is a much greater selection of young sexy females in all sizes, than there is of any other type of figure, even drivers.

if your drawin` hands gets a touch of the St Vitus Dance,just craft a tragic back story of your subject growing up on the mean streets of Sheboygan....paint a couple corroborating witnesses if the story needs more meat.......or a cross-alibi

Thanks, David. Hmmm, imagine that curious fact about the much greater availability of young, attractive gals for model diecasts and displays. It is a mystery !
