A well-preserved older-style car keeps appearing in odd places, soon followed by "The Car Woman" with murderous intent. She's an Asian villainess of stately beauty, armed with a gun that seldom needs reloading. She leaves a calling card on each victim in the form of a small model car.
Two police detectives are on her trail, trying to figure out her motive and ultimately catch her.
Jean Rollin wrote this specifically for Tiki Tsang, an Australian model he met in Paris. It's her only acting credit. While she doesn't do much "acting" in this, she's very good at strutting about and looking villainous. She also does a lot of shooting, with just enough disrobing to satisfy.
This falls into the guilty pleasure category. There's a reason she's doing all that she is, but don't expect clues, or a deft back-story, or much other finessing. It's just a whole lot of confrontations and chases in colorful locales, something Rollin is very good at.
Oh, the car. If you're wondering about it, you can go to IMCDb.org (Internet Movie Cars Database) to learn that while the movie poster shows a '60s Buick, the car in the movie is a '50s Edsel.
Also, the "calling card" cars are neither of those but an assortment including a Honda Accord, Firebird Trans Am, Volvo 760, and Rolls Royce.
The site also has still frames and IDs of every effing car glimpsed in the movie.

WTF?
Lastly, if you check Amazon for the Killing Car DVD, you'll find a negative 1-star review citing that "the title is misleading, and the car never kills anyone."
Alas.
Sorry, no sword fights.
Though there is a scythe-versus-pitchfork cat-fight.
