Gérard Laureau (F) / François Jaeger (F), DB HBR5, 37th. Tour de France de l'Automobile 1959, Nice.

The DB HBR5 of French drivers Gérard Laureau and François Jaeger is tended to during the Tour de France de l'Automobile in Nice, 1959. As a mechanic in light-colored overalls cleans the windscreen, one of the team members holds the coupe’s distinctive front-hinged door open. The car, bearing racing number 118 on a rally plate, has drawn a crowd of spectators who watch from behind a barrier on the sunlit, patterned pavement. In the background, a body of water suggests a seaside location.
