The PVGP Grand Tour accepts entries as candidates for the Tour as follows:
A classic car is generally defined as a vehicle that is more than 20 years old. All classic automobiles will be considered for placement in the tour after those in the antique category. Priority of placement will be considered for classic cars of legacy design and appearance to the earlier antique iteration of that car. Examples of “legacy design” automobiles include the Alfa Romeo Spyder, the air-cooled Porsche 911, the Fiat 124 Spider, and the Austin/Morris Mini.
An antique car is generally defined as a vehicle that is more than 45 years old. All antique automobiles may apply for a place in the Tour. Priority of placement is considered if the automobile is of a sporting nature or is considered to be a significant milestone car, such as the Citroen DS.
Hocking Hills and the Ohio Valley
Our inaugural event was held in 2025 in the Marietta, Ohio, area and was a major success, enjoyed by all participants. For 2026, the event focuses on the Hocking Hills area around Athens, Ohio and the Ohio River Valley near Parkersburg, WV. We will begin at the Burr Oak Lodge and Conference Center in Glouster, Ohio, on Wednesday evening, September 30. Following a day of driving and scheduled stops, we will move on to the Hocking Hills Lodge & Conference Center for two nights, with regional attractions planned for touring and driving. The Grand Tour will travel to Parkersburg, West Virginia, for a final dinner and stay at the historic Blennerhasset Hotel.

Extensive planning involved selecting the routes through this beautiful section of southern Ohio. These roads were chosen for their scenery and to complement the thrill of driving our sports and GT cars. The event fee is $2,075 per car (two occupants), including four nights of lodging, four dinners at some of the best restaurants in the area, three lunches, three breakfasts, tickets to events, and gratuities. Alcohol purchases are not included.
While considerable time and effort have gone into planning this event, our primary goal is to raise money for our charities. The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix is a non-profit that has raised over $6,800,000 for individuals with developmental/intellectual disabilities and autism.
Thanks to the committee for creating and planning this event
