European Classics & Sports Car Show

Weekend July 18/19, 2026

This is a special disolay area for European Classics & Sports Cars
that are not registered with the BMW, Mercedes or Porsche clubs. This is a dedicated PVGP area. You will not be able to park with the clubs or be eligible to partake in their lunch or activities.

Schenley Park is the scene of one of the area’s largest car shows. We stage an International Car Show – a combined show of 20 distinct displays featuring nearly 3,000 cars. Enjoy a picnic atmosphere, browse the sponsor tents, visit vendors, and sample a variety of food options. The main gate at the intersection of Schenley Drive and Forbes Avenue opens daily at 8:00 AM for pre-registered vehicles.

Many of our European marques, such as BMW, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Volkswagen, are stabled in their own distinct car shows hosted by local car clubs. The Grand Prix has a dedicated show for other European cars, represented primarily by Volvo and Saab. We welcome your entry and hope you can join us for the weekend and throughout Race Week. If you are a European car club or group that is interested in learning more about your own display area, please email Mark Sheldon.

Cost: $70 donation per car

Your donation includes:

  • Weekend parking on the golf course for Saturday, July 18 and Sunday, July 19. Single-day registrations are not available.
  • Gates open at 7:00 AM.
  • Complimentary PVGP Race Program and event decal.
  • Weekend admission wristbands for the driver and all passengers — a $20 value per person.
  • Access to all Schenley Park Race Weekend activities and car show areas.

Online registration closes at midnight on July 16. After that, registration is available only at the gate, and the fee increases by $10. Your registration is a charitable donation that supports the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix and our beneficiary charities. Because registration fees directly support our charitable mission and event operations, they are non-refundable. Thank you for your generosity and support.

Jaguar Notice: Registration for the International Jaguar Festival is closed, but there is still a way to get your Jaguar onto the show field. Register and pay for the show, and we will find a spot for any Jaguars that register. You won’t be a part of the IJF and will not have access to their hospitality tent.
