Details of the Sewickley Show:
The roots of this show date back to the mid 1980’s, and over the years, it has been in several elegant locations leading up to its present location in downtown Sewickley, where it has been for quite a few years now. A relaxed atmosphere with car aficionados is the mode of the day.
The idea is to (1) give these elegant cars a chance to be “exercised” and enjoyed by all of us “die-hard” car people, and (2) get out and enjoy the company of other car enthusiasts and the passersby of an admiring public.
The venue of Broad Street in Sewickley, sets the pace of an elegant atmosphere, in a quaint and comfortable business district. It is also noted that there will NOT be any “vendors”, but there will be full access to all the businesses and restaurants that dot this pleasant area of Sewickley.

Participants will choose to be in either of two categories, “Display Only’ (not judged), or the “Judged” category. Though judging is not mandatory, it is conducted in a very casual fashion that is best described as “Concours-lite”.
It does NOT involve the demanding detail of a formal Concours, but has just enough to still be relaxed and simple. Due to the limited size of the location, this show has an overall total car limit of the 50 cars, 10 of which are allocated to the Italian Cortile, and the balance to the Rolls Royce/ Bentley guests, and Jaguar Club cars. This is an exclusive and welcoming invitation to Cortile registrants to share participation in one of the Jaguar Club of Pittsburgh’s private shows. Should there be any questions, please feel free to contact Chuck Pipich via the noted info on the top right o this page. |
