About this photo
Steve McQueen his Jaguar XKSS at his ranch in Newhall
This photograph captures Steve McQueen his ranch in Newhall in 1963, alongside his legendary 1956 Jaguar XKSS, one of only 16 ever built. McQueen had purchased this exceptional car for $5,000, a considerable sum at the time, reflecting his all-consuming passion for race cars and speed, which defined both his personality and his career asan international actor.
Nicknamed "The King of Cool," McQueen was at the height of his fame following the phenomenal success of "The Great Escape," which had grossed $11.7 million at the box office. His legendary collection included Porsches, Ferraris, and motorcycles, but the XKSS remained his absolute pride and joy. This genuine passion for mechanics shone through in his iconic roles in "Bullitt" and "Le Mans," cementing his status as a Hollywood legend.
A timeless image that captures the very essence of 1960s American cool.
