‘Marty Supreme’ Set Visit: Casting the Perfect 1950s Cars to Co-Star With Timothée Chalamet
Last week, an unusual collection of 1950s European cars took up valuable parking spaces on Lexington Avenue and 75th Street in New York City. A sleek Jaguar XK120 and a shiny red Allard K2, both valued at six figures, were interspersed with a pastel Citroen H-Type work van. 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.
