LCOC member favorite Big 4 Car Show and Picnic returns for 2023 on Sunday Oct 1. It is the same great event, but due to road construction at our regular park, it will be at a brand new location, William R. Mason Regional Park, Irvine. The new spot is a bit closer to LA metro and the areas where most of our participants live. So that should even increase both interest and attendance!
Big 4 Picnic Summary

William R. Mason Regional Park, Shelter #4

A special surprise not seen at prior Big 4 Picnics awaits one lucky car owner this year!
This event is always a crowd pleaser and normally sells out early as owners of 4 American luxury car brands—Lincoln, Cadillac, Imperial and Packard—gather to socialize and celebrate our collector car hobby. Since the parking is limited, registration is in advance only. When the registration limit is reached, registration will close. Register NOW at epbendel@sbcglobal.net.
When you register, please specify year, club, make and model of your car for the event and what food item you’re planning to bring (enough to feed 8 people) within the category assigned to your club:
SCOI – Salads and Appetizers
CLC SoCal – Main Dishes
Packard Clubs – Desserts
LCOC – Silverware, cups, napkins, plates, tablecloths, drinks
Organization of the Big 4 Picnic rotates among the participating sponsors and this year it will be managed by the Lincoln & Continental Owners Club Club, supported by the three other American luxury brand clubs, So Cal Cadillac & LaSalle Club, Earle C. Anthony Packard Club, and the Southern California Imperial Owners, Inc.
The fee is $5 PER PERSON payable to LCOC Western Region, additionally you’ll need to pay $5 per car to the park when you enter. You may also send your per-person payment to Elayne Bendel at 27955 Nev ado, Mission Viejo, CA 92692 or by Zelle at epbendel@sbcglobal.net. With the low per-car admission charge we encourage you to invite friends and family and carpool to the picnic.
Bring your folding chairs and tables and portable shade, if convenient, so you can visit and eat lunch with everyone.
