The cars of the Shah of Persia and his yacht Chashvar. Nice 1957. Car: Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, Salmson S4 cabriolet

In the harbor of Nice in 1957, a selection of cars belonging to the Shah of Persia—a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, and a Salmson S4 cabriolet—are parked on the quay beside his yacht, the *Chashvar*. Men in white naval uniforms stand near the Chevrolet, while another officer walks between the vehicles. In the background, more crew line the yacht's railings, with the port's industrial cranes framing the scene against a clear blue sky.
