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

With its coolant boiling, a 1934-44 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Cabriolet A draws the attention of Peter Ustinov and fellow participants of the PEN Congress in Nice, 1952. Ustinov leans over the vented hood to inspect the engine, while a woman in a wide-brimmed straw hat gestures toward the classic convertible. A smiling young boy observes the scene from the passenger seat of the light-colored car. The background shows a street with Art Deco architecture and period signage, including "AU MOUSQUETAIRE" and "CHAUSSURES".
