All these shots are on the parking lot of the car wash with BIG BONUS FOODS in the background.

Big Bonus Foods is located at 2627 Army Street (the street behind the Car Wash) in the San Francisco directory of 1968.

 

 

 

Note: the former Army Street is now Cesar Chavez Street

 

            (2627 Army Street is now 2627 Cesar Chavez on the map)

 

Parking lot at Grace Cathedral on Sacramento Street and Taylor/Jones Streets. Now part of Cathedral School for Boys campus. The houses in the background are 1250-1268 Sacramento Street...

“I was there as a student at Cathedral School they used the lot to stage the entire production for some weeks. We boys all got to sit in the cars there were two identical each and met Steve McQueen in the basement of the church where they had a cafeteria set up. He was very pleasant to us all. Great memories of the greatest SF movie ever.”

So about the Ferrari: he bought it after he saw it in Thomas Crown,

and used it in San Francisco during Bullitt ...
