PVGP Association
The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix is quite a unique vintage racing event. With 10 days of races, car shows and parties it is one of our country’s largest vintage races, and the only one run through actual city streets – the way sports car racing began in the 40s and 50s.
Our mission is to celebrate and honor our founding auto enthusiasts while simultaneously benefiting charity. Funds raised provide residential care, treatment and support for individuals with autism and intellectual/developmental disabilities in western Pennsylvania
We want to thank our army of volunteers who work all year to make the races and shows run successfully.
Ladies and gentlemen…start your engines!
