June 11, 2017 – Camaro’s will be featured throughout all ten days of our event from the cars shows to the races.   If you own a new or vintage Camaro or are just a fan, the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix this is the place to be this coming summer!

Our 2017 Race Week is scheduled for July 7 through 16 with July 15/16 slated as the featured Race Weekend at Schenley Park. This will be your homepage to track all Camaro Marque activities.


The iconic 1967 Camaro is featured on our 2017 poster. The artwork has been created by Pittsburgh artist Jim Zahnister.2017 Poster for WOW small

According to PVGP Executive Director Dan DelBianco “we selected Jim after seeing his series of Pittsburgh travel posters. We were impressed with his wonderful design sense, his detailed line technique, and use of colorful shapes. Jim’s sixties style is a perfect match for the 1967 Camaro illustrated on the poster.  The background features the City of Pittsburgh”.

Posters will be available for purchase in the spring of 2017.
