At the wheel Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Persia. With him his son-in-law Ardeshir Zahedi. Nice Airport 1958. Car: Mercedes-Benz 300 SL

At the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Persia, is accompanied by his son-in-law Ardeshir Zahedi at Nice Airport in 1958. The Shah looks forward, his hand resting on the large, white steering wheel, while Zahedi is seen in profile in the passenger seat. The candid photograph is taken from outside the passenger side, where the raised window creates a strong reflection, layering the image of surrounding trees over the car’s chrome-laden dashboard and its occupants.
