Ava Gardner, arriving at Nice Airport 1960. Car: 1951-55 Mercedes-Benz 220a Limousine (car of Prince Rainier)

Ava Gardner, arriving at Nice Airport in 1960, is captured at night in the driver's seat of a 1951-55 Mercedes-Benz 220a Limousine. The car, belonging to Prince Rainier, features a "PRINCIPAUTE DE MONACO" license plate. Lit by a stark camera flash, whose reflection is visible in the rearview mirror, Gardner looks away from the lens. The open door reveals the car's light-colored striped upholstery and a white steering wheel, with the fronds of a palm tree silhouetted against the dark sky.
