Like the Ford Mustang in 2005 and the Dodge Challenger in 2008, reinventing and reviving classic cars is now the newest trend in the American auto transport industry.
Some Canadians tend to forget that not all of these revived vehicles ceased production long ago. The Mustang never ceased production, but instead got a complete, and much needed redesign to reflect the beloved pony car Mustangs of old. The Dodge Challenger did end production in 1983, but the classic car that everyone remembers was actually built 13 years earlier in 1970.
The Camaro is between the Mustang and Challenger in that it did end production, but much more recently: in 2002. After 35 years of production, the car changed drastically and seemed to drift away from the original inspiration. The car always remained popular up until the early ‘90s especially with the IROC Z model, but sales of the fourth generation waned, and the car was discontinued. The new car is a remake of the 1967 first generation, which ceased being shipped by automobile transport trucks in 1970.

One of the great tourist destinations in Vancouver is Granville Island, a magnificent marketplace located in the heart of Vancouver. Granville Island, situated at the mouth of False Creek, beneath the historic Burrard St. bridge, is a Pacific treasure, where tourists and local can shop, dine, and enjoy local culture.
Whether you're interested in finding a special souvenir item from many of the local handicraft shops, or you're looking to fill your tummy with fresh-caught salmon, or you just want to lounge around on the promenade and watch the sailboats breeze along around Burrard Inlet, you're sure to enjoy your time on Granville Island.
Once an industrial eyesore not long ago, Granville Island has been turned into a miniature market paradise. Aside from the abundance of shopping during the day, there is also plenty of night life on Granville Island, from clubs, bars, restaurants, and entertainment facilities, such as the Arts Club Revue Theatre. It's a quick trip by cab, bus, boat, or Aquabus from different parts of Vancouver, making Granville Island very accessible for visitors.
