In Cannes, 1955, a sailor from the British Royal Navy’s HMS Sheffield leans in to photograph actress Grace Kelly. Seated in the passenger side of a Simca Vedette Versailles, Kelly, wearing dark sunglasses, offers a gracious and amused smile for his camera. The bustling seaside promenade is lined with classic cars, including a Bentley Mark VI in the background, while flags and banners suggest a festival is underway. A glare on the car’s windshield reveals the name “Miss Grace” written on the glass.
