#PVGP Cortile Lamborghini Proiettore Macchina 2011

 What is the Cortile?
The Cortile is the Italian Car Show, at The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix which will again meet on July 23-24, 2011. In Italian "Cortile" translates into courtyard which is an appropriate name for our display of fine Italian machina on the 8th & 17th green & 18th fairway of the Bob O'Connor Golf Course at Schenley Park.

Proiettore Macchina
Each year the Cortile selects a marque or model to highlight for the annual event based upon factors such as historical significance, unique local interest, brand resurgence, etc.

History
The Proiettore Macchina concept was introduced in 2010, second year of the Cortile. Proiettore, in Italian, is the word for headlight. "Headlight" encapsulates our goal for Proiettore Macchina. We want to "enlighten" Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix attendees to unique and not often seen marques that have a rich and vibrant design or racing history. 

Proiettore Macchina 2011: Lamborghini
After careful consideration the Proiettore Macchina for 2011 was selected to be Lamborghini.
The impetus for this dated back to conversations in 2008 with member James Tauberg at the PVGP Walnut Street Car Show about his '73 Espada.

The Espada was "Lamborghini's intent was to create superlative grand touring cars for the world's richest and most powerful men"
