Car attendant (6)

I believe the answer is:

escort

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'car' is the first definition.
(Ford Escort is a type of car)

'attendant' is the second definition.
(I know that escort is a type of attendant)

(Other definitions for escort that I've seen before include "Accompany (a person)" , "giving protection" , "Accompany, to protect perhaps" , "Bodyguard" , "Go with (someone)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
