Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, July 19-25

A couple of us from the MD/DC/VA area will be attending some or all of this event. If you're in the area on Saturday the 24th, stop by the all-Italian cars section on the golf course and say "hi". Just look for the FIAT flag.

There's still time to register for the non-judged exhibition at the "Cortille". $100 donation to the Autism Society gets you and your Italian car on the lawn, and gourmet lunch for two at the clubhouse. We'll be doing some pub-crawling in Oakland on Friday and Saturday nite too. PM me if interested.

A disappointing showing of Fiats at this year's event; one 1500, one 500, one 850 and a couple of Spiders.

Otherwise, a great event. Lots of neat cars, including these two Lancia models:

Quite a few lovely Ferrari's, including this 275 GTS. Looks a lot like our Spiders, doesn't it?

Image

The star of the Ferrari show was this 250 GTO

Image

Hardly looks like a $7.5 million dollar car, does it?

Image

Lamborghini had a display:

... and when was the last time you saw three Yenko Stingers?

Bernie,

I am just now catching up with your post. I am sorry I missed you. My car was the red Lancia Fulvia Sport. Was it ridiculously hot outside or what?! That was brutal. Thank goodness we had access to the A/C on the club house.

Sorry I missed you, too. Your car is beautiful, and attracted lots of attention. Yes, it was unseasonably hot and humid. We needed extra installation fluid!
