Experience Automotive Elegance on Walnut Street

Stroll down Shadyside’s picturesque Walnut Street and take in the sight of 135 rare, classic, and exotic cars lining the block. This one-of-a-kind event offers a preview of the incredible vehicles featured at the upcoming PVGP International Car Show. Celebrated as one of the region’s most anticipated automotive showcases, this exclusive, invitation-only display brings together some of the finest and most unique cars. Don’t miss this unforgettable celebration of automotive artistry.

Sponsors

The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix welcomes back Piatt Sotheby’s International Realty as the sponsor of the Walnut Street Car Show. Stop by their new offices at 5513 Walnut Street. It’s a popular gathering spot during the car show – stop by and say hello.


Invitation Policy

Only cars holding a mailed invitation will be admitted to limit the confusion on the day of the show. The logistics of squeezing 135 cars onto Walnut Street are daunting; accommodating unexpected guests is nearly impossible. Please do not show up without an invitation, expecting to show your car. Invitations are rotated from year to year, allowing us to showcase a different variety each year. Participants are invited to join us for a private party upstairs at Mario’s East Side Saloon during and after the show. Contact Greg Farrell for details.

Online donations are greatly appreciated.  Click below to donate to our charities in honor of this show – please understand that a donation does not guarantee that your car will be in the show.

 

 

 


Mario’s East Side Saloon hosts our Walnut Street Party, thank you for your support!

Mario’s was created by a local Pittsburgh legend named Bob Pessolano in 1982. After 25 years of devotion to his South Side patrons, he retired in 2007 and left his establishment to 3 young professional drinkers who had the foresight to not fix which was not broken… In 2011, Mario’s undertook its first expansion with its sights on Shadyside. After consultation with 2 close friends, Mario’s East Side was born. Today they are a unique blend of Neighborhood, College, and Sport’s Bar all rolled into one. They offer our customers a welcoming and relaxed environment where friends both old and new can hang out, where you can test your wits at Team Trivia, enjoy Karaoke, and catch your favorite sport’s team. It is also the best place to be for a cold one after the PVGP Walnut Street Car Show.
