In Cannes, 1959, Gabriella, Princess of Savoy, smiles from the driver's seat of a rare 1958 Ferrari 250GT Pininfarina Series 1 Cabriolet, holding a cigarette. The car is one of only thirty-seven built. In another convertible behind her, an AC ACE, sit author Françoise Sagan and Princess Maria Pia of Yugoslavia, both wearing headscarves. The bustling background is filled with spectators and other mid-20th-century automobiles parked along the street.
