Default What to see in and around Quebec City

If one was to be mobile in the Quebec City area currently what would be good places for a military vehicle enthusiast to go visit?

Suggestions appreciated

The Citadel had a few things to look at. All DND owned however, so there will be no bartering. When I visited, the outdoor stuff did not appear to be overly maintained mind you.

The Vandoos museum in the Citadel is impressive! But it is a conventional glass cases and cramped spaces museum.

Oh my, there's nothing not to see in Quebec City. Everything from the early English French time to the Plains of Abraham (for a while the Ross Rifle factory) to the Dominion Arsenals factory which is a museum dedicated to our ammunition manufacturing in both world wars (sounds dull but it isn't). Just walking in the same place as many of our most historical figures and where history was made is heady. As a youngster I poured over books with pictures of sites in Quebec City and to see them in person was very fulfilling.

Taking a break from history and military find a little spot in the old city with a patio and enjoy a glass of wine while soaking it all in.
