A parking problem unfolds in Monte Carlo, 1958. Loël Guinness and his wife, seated in their diminutive Fiat 500 Jolly Ghia, block Emery Reves, Winston Churchill’s American publisher, as he steps from his stately 1948/49 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith. The scene in front of the Hotel de Paris creates an amusing juxtaposition between the massive limousine and the tiny, wicker-seated beach car.
