Serie: Des personnalitées et des Pontiac

Priscilla Lane est une actrice américaine née le 12 juin 1915 à Indianola, Iowa (États-Unis), décédée le 4 avril 1995 à Andover (Massachusetts).

A Pontiac convertible formerly owned by Keith Richards may fetch as much as $35,000 as Rolling Stones fans and car collectors are lured by a U.K. auction.

The dark blue 1950 Chieftain Silver Streak was used by the guitarist as the band recorded “Exile on Main Street” at his home in the south of France in the early 1970s.

The car, with an estimate of 18,000 pounds ($28,850) to 22,000 pounds, stars in the Bonhams April 30 auction at the RAF Museum, Hendon. It is being sold by a U.K. classic car and Stones enthusiast who acquired it directly from Richards in the mid-1980s, said the London-based auction house.

The left-hand-drive convertible was originally supplied by the now-defunct Pontiac marque specifically for the European market and was Richards’s runaround when he rented Villa Nellcote, near Villefranche-sur-Mer, in 1971.

Richards acquired it second-hand from a neighbor of the U.K. novelist Somerset Maugham, said Bonhams.

The band worked on tracks including “Rip This Joint,” “Happy” and “Shake Your Hips” in the basement of Nellcote. Beat novelist William S. Burroughs was among the visitors.
