Concours d’Elégance Automobile, Cannes 1951. FIAT 1400 cabriolet by Carrozzeria Vignale nicknamed "Orchidea", introduced at the 1951 Turin motor show a few months before.

At the 1951 Concours d’Elégance Automobile in Cannes, a woman in a striped gown and wide-brimmed hat holds a bouquet and trophy. She is presented on a platform alongside a FIAT 1400 cabriolet by Carrozzeria Vignale, which bears a "GRAND PRIX" sign. Nicknamed "Orchidea," the car had been introduced just months earlier at the Turin motor show. Draped in a fur stole, the prize-winner smiles as a man in a light suit gestures beside the vehicle, watched by a crowd of spectators.
