About The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix
The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix is the nation’s only vintage street race and one of the most celebrated events of its kind worldwide. Each summer, a full Race Week of car shows, parties, parades, and motorsport events builds toward our signature vintage races through Schenley Park – the only vintage races in the country still run on public roads. Founded in 1983, the PVGP remains driven by its core mission: to stage a world-class vintage automotive event that raises essential funds for residential care, treatment, and support for individuals with autism and intellectual disabilities in western Pennsylvania.
Accolades for the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix continue to grow. Classic Motorsports Magazine recently honored the PVGP as a winner in its inaugural 2025 Editors’ Choice Awards. This distinction adds to the event’s expanding international recognition, including its second consecutive nomination as a finalist for “Motorsport Event of the Year” by the International Historic Motoring Awards.
