Last week, an unusual collection of 1950s European cars took up valuable parking spaces on Lexington Avenue and 75th Street in New York City.

On the opposite side of the avenue, there were three Citroen Traction Avant sedans mirroring these cars. Nearby was the classic French bistro Orsay, its front boasting a mahogany exterior under a striped canopy adorned with Parisian Metro-style Art Nouveau lettering. The curb to the facade was bustling with the typical scene of an NYC film set – tables filled with soda cans and snack bags, production assistants guiding pedestrians, technicians holding up large reflectors to manage the light.
