Come join us in Pittsburgh July 18-19, 2026!
The Mercedes-Benz Club, Pittsburgh Section has been an ardent supporter of the PVGP and its charities. All Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts are invited to join over 250,000 attendees for a spectacular display of automobiles at the biggest car show in the region. And this 2026 Event is a Silver Star Preservation Award Show!!!
While club membership is suggested, you do not need to be a member to participate and join this great group.
A Mission Since 1983
Beyond the roar of the engines, the PVGP operates with a vital mission that began in 1983: to stage a world-class vintage automotive event that raises funds for individuals with autism and intellectual/developmental disabilities in western Pennsylvania. Forty-four years later, this commitment remains strong. The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Association, run entirely by dedicated volunteers, ensures that all net proceeds are donated to charity, resulting in millions of dollars raised since its start.
PVGP has been a finalist for the Motorsport Event of the Year for 2024 and 2025 at the International Historic Motoring Awards, and a recipient of the 2025 Classic Motorsports Editors' Choice Awards.
