San Francisco Old Car Picnic benefits programs for the developmentally disabled.

Every year this event gets more and more popular. From what I understand, there are 500+ vehicles that attend. This was once a BADROC tradition. I think we had up to 12 roadsters in 2001. Anyone interested in showing this year?

It used to be called, "Jimmys Old Car Picnic". It started many years ago by Jimmy, the head gardener of Golden Gate park. It was an annual get together of his buddies and their classic cars. Well, the event grew and grew and now its a San Francisco motorsport staple.

If you want to see some amazing vehicles in a classic San Francisco setting, this is an event that must not be missed.

Also, remember to bring food and a shade. It can get hot out in the sun. This is an amazing family event. I hope to see you there.

I will be there with both a car and motorcycle.

Thanks for the post, Michael.

Thanks for that memory. I remember letting folks sit in the car and putting on the harness. It was lots of fun.
