Célestin Salamone, a 26-year-old from Seine-et-Marne, is dedicated to restoring vintage cars, a passion inherited from his parents. He co-founded the association "Les Bielles d’Antan" in Congis-sur-Thérouanne, which now boasts around 100 members and a collection of 200 to 300 vehicles dating from the early days of automobiles up to the 1970s and 1980s. Salamone views these cars as a vital part of French heritage, particularly those from the 1950s and 1960s, which he associates with a prosperous era. The association aims to preserve these often-forgotten vehicles, with members pooling their skills for restoration and ensuring the cars are driven regularly. Beyond restoration, Salamone organizes exhibitions and road trips, with a planned journey to Vendée in his Renault Frégate and two Peugeot models.
