An auction is also held inside the showroom which is full of PVGP memorabilia, local sports memorabilia, and donations from surrounding area businesses and restaurants. This is an excellent way to support the charities and enjoy a Sunday toward the end of the driving season. This year’s show will be held on Sunday, August 27th at Bentley Pittsburgh.

History
Bentley Pittsburgh has been a tremendous supporter of the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. Jason Moka and his team have hosted this intimate and exclusive car show to benefit the PVGP charities since 2019 . This will be the sixth year that Bentley Pittsburgh has hosted this event that has now raised an incredible $75,000 to provide residential care, treatment and support for autistic and intellectually/developmentally disabled individuals in our region.
This is an invitation only show of special cars featuring Bentley, Rolls Royce and Maserati cars of all years, but you will see plenty of Ferraris, Porsches, BMWs, and others. Bentley clears their showroom and parking lot to make room for the car show. They also provide a delicious lunch for all attendees.
The event started in 2019 and has grown significantly. In 2020 it represented the largest single fundraiser for the PVGP when our Race Week was cancelled. According to PVGP Executive Director Dan DelBianco “Bentley Pittsburgh started this show to benefit our charities in 2019 and it was a great inaugural event, but the effort they made and the result of staging the show in 2020 was monumental! It rekindled the spirit of the Pittsburgh car community and was a blessing to the PVGP and its charities. Rohrich Automotive Group sponsors the PVGP through its many dealers and the PVGP is blessed by their generosity. In the proceeding years the show continues to feature the finest automobiles and the amenities provided to attendees.
Jason Moka, Marketing Director for Rohrich Automotive Group was ecstatic about the success of the event saying “the show was a huge success and most importantly, the charities of the PVGP benefitted. We plan on continuing this show annually. We appreciate each and every person who brought their car or showed support. We look forward to seeing you all again next year.”
Artist and car enthusiast, Terri Hohmann, created an incredible collection of handcrafted, glass-fused plaques and signs for the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. Terri, of North Star Chevrolet Buick GMC, has invested countless hours and materials to create each and every one of these unique pieces. The PVGP is so pleased that Terri has dedicated her time to create these unique masterpieces to benefit our charities. Each piece was painstakingly cut from hundreds of glass pieces and assembled for the PVGP. Each layer had to be fired in her kiln at home and many required more than a dozen firings with each session putting the piece at risk.Terri has designed and created many pieces of art for the PVGP and the Bentley Show. She also pays for the materials and is generously donating all of the proceeds from the sale of these pieces to the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix and their charity partners.
