The 2016 New York International Auto Show was less intense than previous years. With no jaw-dropping reveals, it felt as if Mazda captured a bulk of the spotlight with the debut of its beautiful little Miata MX-5 RF hardtop convertible sports car.

There is more than enough eye candy to keep the show interesting, though. Ford brought back its GT in a new paint job, Lincoln has a Navigator Concept that is both impressive in size and design, Porsche trotted out the new 911R, and Mercedes showed off more than one car in mesmerizing matte paint finishes.

Ironically, some of the most standout cars of the show weren't brand new cars, rather the immaculate examples of automakers' previous successes. Nissan brought along six of its previous GT-Rs, including swoon-worthy examples of their '69 and '73 bodies. Amongst the other vintage standouts were Volvo's light blue metallic P1800 and Alfa Romeo's 33 Stradale. The NYIAS runs from March 25 until April 3.
