Armenian oil magnate Nubar Gulbenkian and his wife stand beside their car in Cap d'Antibes, 1959. Gulbenkian, with his distinctive gray beard and fedora, brings a cigar holder to his mouth, while his wife smiles in a tailored suit and pearls. A chauffeur holds open the door to their 1956 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith, an Allweather Tourer custom-built by Hooper with a transparent "Perspex" top to accommodate the owner's claustrophobia. A sign for the "Auberge de la Coque Blanche" is visible in the background.
