Just got this info; Dear Friends of Jimmys Old Car Picnic, Thank you! Because of your incredible support, Jimmys Old Car Picnic will continue its annual tradition this year on Saturday, October 16th on Speedway Meadow in Golden Gate Park! After working with the Rec & Park Department for several months for our right to bring enthusiasts together at Speedway Meadow to share our old cars and raise money for the developmentally disabled, Rec & Park finally agreed to grant us a permit that will allow 750 cars to park on the meadow. However, SF Rec and Park raised our permit fees through the roof! We need your help to make sure Jimmys Old Car Picnic can continue. Whats next? First, mark your calendars and spread the word! EVENT: Jimmy's Old Car Picnic WHEN: Saturday, 10/16/2010 7 AM - 4 PM WHERE: Speedway Meadow, San Francisco, CA, 94121 WEBSITE: jimmy****nic.com As always, the Picnic is free to pedestrians but there's a charge to park your old car (1980 and earlier) on the meadow. This year it's $40, but you can get $5 off if you wear this year's Jimmy's Old Car Picnic t-shirt (see ordering information below) when you drive in. Next, have your business (or your friend's business) become a sponsor of Jimmys Old Car Picnic! We still have great sponsorship packages available, with prices from $100 and up.

Sweet! Hadn't heard they got another permit! I'll be there for sure. Only a few blocks from my house.
OK I'm UP! Be headed out for the park soon. Don't have anything running that I can show, but I'll be toating a pic/poster around looking for info on the "Hi-Domes"... 50's SF club that got the spread in LIFE mag that has been shown here in the 'Vintage shots' thread. Don't let the fog scare ya!
Nice show... guestimate 500 cars, all types. Ran into a few folks I know form the trade, and took a ton of pix. Here are some of my favorites. If you see your ride sing out!
