The Thule OutWay PRO 2-Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms Item # TH45JV is going to be the best option for your lady's cruiser bike and 2013 Ford Taurus. It has arms that adjust up and down, in and out, independently of each other and the rest of the rack. What that means is that bikes with alternative frames can be loaded without the use of an adapter bar such as # 64005.

The Passage # TH910XT will hold the bike but in all likelihood you will need to use the above mentioned adapter bar # 64005 in order to load the bike level on the rack.
