The coolant is boiling. Peter Ustinov with other participants of the PEN Congress, Nice 1952. Car: 1934-44 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Cabriolet A

Peter Ustinov and fellow participants of the 1952 PEN Congress in Nice gather around a 1934-44 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Cabriolet A as its coolant boils over. Ustinov, dressed in a light suit, looks intently at the engine while another man leans over the windshield and two young boys peer at the vehicle with curiosity. The scene unfolds on a sunlit street lined with shops, including a "CHAUSSURES" (shoes) and a "VINS" (wines) store, capturing a moment of unexpected roadside trouble.
