Vintage Grand Prix Pittsburgh 09’

Every year Pittsburgh pulls off the vintage grand prix locally at the Schenley Park Golf Course. Basically it’s a high brow event where everyone comes out to show off their cars, drink wine, and eat grapes in a true Roman Debauchery fashion. I am not one for vintage cars (at least most) but some of them do it for me. I was particularly drawn to the old Range Rovers, Porsche’s and Ferarri’s.

I stopped by during the actual car show to see what all the commotion was about. It was pretty cool how they have it set up. Each brand had it’s own section, the Porsche guys were turning there noses up at everyone, there was a huge representation by BMW this year being the ‘Marquis’ manufacturer, and the Italian section made me feel like a 5 year old in a toy store. If I hit the lottery tomorrow the following would be in my garage:

-Ferrari F-430 Scuderia (Red)
-Lamborghini Gallardo Nera edition (Triple Black)
-Audi S6

All of which were present in this years event (except for the Nera edition) which made me beyond happy. Here are a few photo’s I took but I was concentrating on talking to
owners and getting my fill rather than snapping off thousands of shots.
