Ah! Nostalgia! How it holds us!

Every year for the past 45 years — except during the two pandemic years — the Voitures Anciennes de Granby (VAG) organization has held an event bringing together classic car enthusiasts. And throughout all those years, it has remained a true success.
In addition to being an outdoor exhibition of vintage vehicles, the event, known as the Granby International, welcomes vendors of vintage parts as well as enthusiasts from across the country and even beyond.
Once again this year, the event was a great success, helped in part by particularly pleasant weather.
Covering the entire show would be nearly impossible, but the following images should bring back some great memories for visitors and participants alike.
Ah! Nostalgia! How it holds us!
01
The rear of this 1957 Chrysler 300 has been modified with great taste and professionalism.
02
At the Granby International, visitors get to see old cars and... some not quite as old.
03
What would a classic car gathering be without the legendary Volkswagen Beetle?
04
This 1939 Studebaker sedan could use a little restoration — note the unusual screws holding the grille pieces in place — but at least it is complete!
05
Nearly perfectly restored, this 1953 Meteor — a model sold only in Canada — was waiting its turn to cross the auction block.
06
This 1959 Ford is a rare Skyliner model with a retractable hardtop!
07
This 1956 Dodge is a top-trim Royale model!
08
Chevrolet produced this Corvan van for only a few years. It was powered by a rear-mounted, air-cooled flat-six engine.
09
BMC Minis are always a crowd favourite at classic car shows.
10
These two late-1950s cars are V8-powered Studebakers: the President sedan in the rear and the Golden Hawk coupe in front.
11
Easy to find in France, Citroën 2CVs are much rarer in Quebec.
12
This 1962 Mercury Comet was completely restored a few years ago to an exceptional standard.
13
The crowd was especially large around the more modern cars, including the muscle cars of the 1960s and 1970s.
14
This imposing 1946 Cadillac is simply waiting for a careful restoration.
15
This great Auburn classic from the 1930s is certainly a replica, as revealed by its modern-sized wheels and tires. It is still a beautiful car nonetheless.
16
There were several Cobra replicas in Granby. Most had a Ford V8 under the hood, except for the red car shown here, which was fitted with a Chevrolet engine. Genuine Cobras only ever used Ford engines.
17
Ford's Edsel models were produced for only three years. This 1958 example is certainly one of the rarer ones in our part of the world.
18
The Club des Ford T du Québec had the bright idea of protecting about a dozen of its members' Model Ts from the sun by gathering them under a large tent.
19
This imposing 1958 Mercury Colony Park was one of the most impressive cars at the Granby International.
20
One of the Granby International's biggest attractions is its large flea market, which draws many amateur and professional restorers in search of rare or hard-to-find parts.
