LOL... sorry Norl.
Haven't had the opportunity to check the site - we're all probably a bit busy now at christmas time. I've even been without electricity all day, until I got back to Tórshavn.
But Roffen is absolutely rigth, it is Kate McCann.

Since I am certain, I am right, I will not allow the thread to die again, so I will post again and continue the theme.

That looks a lot like the cars you sometimes see federal agents use in films taking place in the 50's. E.g. Nick Nolte in "Northfork".
But can't remember the make now. Maybe I'll come up with the answer later.

I'd say it looks more like a two-door 1950 Ford Mercury.

What is a Ford Mercury? Mercury isn't a model, but a rather a marque...
Btw Lazarus: This is a very nice question...not something we can find right away.
I will say that the picture looks a lot like this 1949 Mercury...

Which is explanatory because it's a 1950 Mercury Two Door Sedan

Ahem.... didn't Thomsen answer the question and if so isn't it his question then?
What I'm trying to say is doesn't Ford Motors own Mercury? I know that is like saying "that is a Fiat Ferrari F40" but still that don't make it totaly wrong or does it? ohh well anyways if Norlander is right then it is his question ofc.

This is Shakespeare's Sonnet 144:
CXLIV
Two loves I have of comfort and despair,
Which like two spirits do suggest me still:
The better angel is a man right fair,
The worser spirit a woman coloured ill.
To win me soon to hell, my female evil,
Tempteth my better angel from my side,
And would corrupt my saint to be a devil,
Wooing his purity with her foul pride.
And whether that my angel be turned fiend,
Suspect I may, yet not directly tell;
But being both from me, both to each friend,
I guess one angel in another's hell:
Yet this shall I ne'er know, but live in doubt,
Till my bad angel fire my good one out.
This battle of angels to suggest us is a well known theme. What is its literary term?

I don't know if I understand your question correctly, but I'll try to answer as best I can.
We are talking about a personification of a persons thoughts - more specifically a personification of vices and virtues. This is sometimes called "psychomachia" (maybe that was the word you were looking for). It was very common in medieval morality plays, where (as far as I remember from e.g. Everyman) you can have some normal characters, but most characters will be personifications, such as Charity, Wealth, Death, Loyalty, Good Deeds.
