Just to be clear to all those who might be interested in parking as a club in Birmingham. This is NOT a good option if you want complete freedom to come and go. The classic cars are parked on Old Woodward which is closed off to traffic. There are tons of pedestrians walking down the middle of the street to view the cars. And there are food and souvenir vendors set up in the street. Not to mention that the entrance and exits have barricades which have to be moved if one wants to leave or come back. That's why Birmingham wants all the cars to arrive between 7am and 9am ….before the public starts showing up. But like I mentioned in a previous post, the classic cars slowly start to leave in the early afternoon. I stayed last year until 4pm and I'd say about half of the cars had left by then. In my opinion the best cruising is on Monday - Friday before the actual cruise so I don't mind having a great parking spot on Saturday morning.
