Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix PVGP 2009 Poster: BMW

2009 Poster - Created by Burton Morris honoring BMW as the Marque.

Having Burton Morris create our 2009 poster is further proof that the PVGP is a world class event. Building on the legacy of Pop Art masters of the 1960s-70s, In his post-Pop style, Morris boldly projects an enticing mood of happiness, high energy and fun.The Marque of the Year was BMW and the poster showcased a 1938 BMW 328 that races at our event. It is now owned by Oscar Davis and finished 3rd in it's class at the 1939 24 Hours of LeMans.

Our 27th annual event was one of our finest ever. The downturn in the economy kept new sponsorships low, but thousands of race fans decided to spend their summer vacations at the Grand Prix. Throughout Race Week we shattered attendance records at BeaveRun, Walnut Street, the Waterfront and Bossa Nova.

The Schenley Park weekend was jam packed and the crowds stayed until the very end. Our volunteers stepped up in a big way as our spectators and guests complimented us on the quality of our event.

2009 Also saw the introduction of a new car show with the advent of The Cortile of all Italian Cars at the Pittsburgh Golf Club.

Despite difficult economic conditions we donated $110,000 bringing our total to over $2.5 million!
