In a playful parking standoff, Loël Guinness and his wife, in their diminutive Fiat 500 Jolly Ghia, prevent Emery Reves from parking his imposing 1948 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith. The scene unfolds in front of the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo, 1958. As Reves, Winston Churchill’s American publisher, emerges from the passenger side of his limousine, the Guinnesses look on from their doorless beach car. The dramatic size difference between the vehicles highlights the lighthearted moment, captured in turn by another photographer on the left.
