Carlton Hotel, Cannes 1954. Cars: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain, Buick 1953 Super Riviera Sedan, Renault 4CV

In 1954, the grand Belle Époque facade of the Carlton Hotel in Cannes provides a glamorous backdrop for a row of parked cars. Under the strong Riviera sun, a compact Renault 4CV stands beside the polished chrome of larger American models: a 1953 Buick Super Riviera Sedan and a 1951 Pontiac Chieftain. Tall palm trees and an ornate lamppost frame the high-contrast scene, where sharp shadows accentuate the architectural details and the gleaming vehicles.
