"...Then there are the events that subscribers SHOULD anticipate, know about, attend and afterwards fail to let go of. We’ve become enamored with events like the Crescent Classic, Keeneland Concours, the French Quarter Classic (on hiatus) and the latest entry to this wonderful list… The Italian Cortile at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix"  ~Chad Ensz, Ferrari Market Letter, August 2011
"Fantastic event in every respect.  It's rare to find such an all inclusive auto event . . . open to the public, all marques, beautiful city park, reasonably priced, well organized, worthy charity.  It just doesn't get any better from a motorhead's point of view.  Bernie and his crew just keep making it better every year." 

~ Bill Ebert, Senior Judge for the International Advisory Council for the Preservation of Ferrari Automobiles (IAC/PFA); FCA-Mid Atlantic
