The City of Coatesville announced the hiatus Monday of the Coatesville Invitational Vintage Grand Prix (CIVGP) as organizers seek to reimagine Chester County’s premiere vintage car and motorcycle exhibition that attracts more than 5,000 visitors from the tri-state area. “This is a case of being the fortunate beneficiaries of our own success,” said Coatesville City Manager James Logan. “What started out as a showcase for the City of Coatesville’s diversity and economic revitalization efforts has turned into a multi-county event that has grown exponentially. Vintage cars and motorcycles that passed a safety and technical inspection were eligible to run untimed lapping sessions by class, with a staggered start, in a demonstration of driver skills and the capabilities of the historic vehicles. 2023 lead sponsors of the Coatesville Invitational Vintage Grand Prix included Jeff D’Ambrosio Auto Group, the Coatesville Youth Initiative (made possible by Jennifer and Bob McNeil), Brian Hoskins Ford, JGM USA, and Cleveland-Cliffs.
