The Shah of Persia and Soraya in front of his yacht Chashvar. Nice 1957. Car: Mercedes-Benz 300 SL

On the quayside in Nice, 1957, the Shah of Persia emerges from his light-colored Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster. A man in a dark suit holds the driver's door open as the Shah, wearing sunglasses, steps onto the pavement. Through the windshield, Empress Soraya can be seen in the passenger seat. Moored in the background is the Shah’s yacht, the *Chashvar*, its white hull dominating the scene.
