Before his parade lap at the Monaco Grand Prix on May 25, 1955, Prince Rainier leans from his Lancia Aurelia B24 Spider America to greet Commissaire Générale Jean Bonavia. Dressed in a dark suit and sunglasses, the Prince shakes hands with Bonavia over the car's door, which bears the license plate "2777 PRINCIPAUTE DE MONACO." In the background, officials stand at attention near a Mercedes-Benz 300c as spectators watch from behind a railing, with the sun-drenched hills of the principality rising behind them.
