Many think the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix takes place every third weekend in July. While it is true that the tribute to motorsport history culminates that magical weekend in Schenley Park, the event has grown into a 10-day celebration spanning six venues and two counties. The Crown Royal Invitational Car Show on Walnut Street is part of the celebration. Nestled on Shadyside's charming Walnut Street, this unique setting allowed the public to view a sampling of rare, classic and exotic cars.
