Mark Morrow sums it up perfectly — the American Car Show at the PVGP brings together an incredible range of vehicles, from classics to modern builds and everything in between. It’s a great look at just how broad and exciting the American side of the PVGP really is.

One of the best parts of the PVGP is sharing the love of cars across generations. Watching kids light up when they get up close to these machines reminds us why we do what we do. These experiences stick with them — and keep the passion for cars growing.

Scenes from the PVGP paddock — drivers catching up, teams getting ready, and friends stopping by to talk cars. It’s always been more than a race here. It’s the people, the conversations, and the community that make this event what it is.

A look back into the founding of the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix!

Our original mission, established in 1983, was “To stage a world-class vintage automotive race to raise funds to provide residential care, treatment and support for individuals with autism and intellectual/developmental disabilities in western Pennsylvania.” 44 years later, we are still on track.

Though our first race was in 1983, our organization actually started the year prior. Art McGovern and Mary Beth Gmitter envisioned the city streets winding through Schenley Park as a perfect venue for vintage auto racing. Told that the City of Pittsburgh’s approval hinged on the assurance that any money raised would go to charity, they first approached Myron Cope of WTAE-TV Sports fame – also an autism awareness advocate. Meetings with the city’s parks people followed, and then-Mayor Richard Caliguiri gave his enthusiastic approval. The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Association, consisting of volunteers, was created, and net proceeds would be donated to charity. In April 1983, during a meeting in vintage racer Alan Patterson’s Shadyside garage, the planning began for the first Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, scheduled for Labor Day 1983.
