Broken-down car: 1948 Salmson S4 61 (?). Nice 1950.

In a sunlit square in Nice, 1950, two men in dark suits attend to a flat tire on a Salmson S4 convertible. As one man holds a spare, the other crouches to inspect the front wheel hub. Onlookers observe from a traffic island near parked period vehicles, including a Citroën Traction Avant. The candid midday scene unfolds amidst pollarded plane trees and buildings bearing signs for "AUTO-SPORT" and "AIR FRANCE," capturing an everyday moment of roadside trouble.
