Emery Reves, publisher of Churchill’s books, smiles as he exits his large 1948/49 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith in Monte Carlo, 1958. His parking attempt is playfully thwarted by Loël Guinness and his wife in their tiny Fiat 500 Jolly Ghia. The stark contrast between the luxurious touring limousine and the small, doorless car with its wicker seats creates a candid and amusing scene in front of the Hotel de Paris.
