Life Magazine has posted its unique photographic archive on the web, including this fabulous shot of Steve McQueen driving his Jaguar XK-SS in California in 1963.
The searchable archive has 10 million images covering every imaginable subject, and is guaranteed to provide hours of browsing fun when you start entering automotive keywords into the Google-powered search function.
Best of all, there’s a link to purchase framed photographic prints of your favourite images, so for McQueen and his beloved XK-SS could have pride of place on your wall for a little less than eighty bucks. The car in question was essentially a road-going version of Jaguar’s Le Mans winning D-Type – with a custom-built glove box so McQueen could stow his ubiquitous sunglasses. Check out the reflection of the Corvette near the rear wheel arch while we go surfing for some more good stuff…
