Dozens of guests were then able to admire the vehicles presented at the 40th Quebec Auto Show, including some to dream about, before the official opening of the event. Snacks, refreshments and entertainment were also part of the chic evening.
The Mobilis Corporation of Greater Québec City Auto Dealers is a not-for-profit organization bringing together more than 145 auto and heavy-duty truck dealerships. The Quebec City International Auto Show is also an achievement of this organization.
For its part, the Mobilis Foundation “gives back to the community every year to alleviate the conditions of people with reduced mobility by providing them with health services and specific equipment”, we can read on its website.
The Quebec City International Auto Show takes place from March 7th to 12th at the ExpoCité Exhibition Centre.
