Didnt see Lombard..but it was filmed in several areas of the city. I am a big McQeen fan and listed below is an overview of the chase from several different resources. The chase segment starts off, with the Charger trailing the Mustang, near the intersection of Potrero and Army streets in Bernal Heights. It then proceeds west on Army Street for a few blocks.
Bullitt makes a U-turn on Army at Precita, Bullitt then makes an immediate right turn on York Street
The Charger follows and they make right onto York. He disappears up York Street and the bad guys stop at the corner of York and Peralta.
They change locals and two cars then appear on 20th Street at Kansas Street They continue north on Kansas Street for about two blocks.
The chase then suddenly jumps to the Russian Hill/North Beach area. It heads east on Filbert Street,
The chase crosses Mason Street then heads northwest on Columbus Avenue past Greenwich Street and the North Beach Playground through North Beach. At Chestnut and Columbus the bad guys make an illegal left turn and head west (uphill) on Chestnut. They then make a left on Leavenworth and head south toward Lombard.
The chase then continues at the intersection of 20th and Rhode Island in the Potrero Hills district again. They continue on 20th Street and turn right heading north on Kansas.
The Charger appears making a right turn onto Larkin Street (heading north) from Lombard (headed west). They continue for one block on Larkin. At the corner of Larkin and Chestnut streets Bill Hickman gets the Charger into a serious oversteer condition and then over-corrects and crashes into a 1956 Ford parked at the corner.
McQueen attempts to follow the Charger as it turns right on Chestnut and heads EAST. The Mustang understeers badly and he is forced to stop and back up in order to make the turn. They then appear heading WEST on Chestnut then turn south on Jones They continue south on Jones Street. They make another left from Jones onto Lombard and head east on Lombard.
The locale now shifts to what is probably the most famous part of the chase. Taylor Street headed north crossing Vallejo They continue north (downhill) on Taylor, passing Green Street, approaching Union Street, passing Union Street, and arriving at Filbert Street. They turn left headed west on Filbert and pass the Chinatown campus of San Francisco City College.
The chase next winds up on Larkin Street (again) and this time the two cars pass Chestnut street and continue on Larkin. The cars head down Francisco past Polk Street They continue north on Laguna, which turns into Marina Boulevard. The chase continues west toward the Golden Gate Bridge on Marina Boulevard, the chase picks up again on University Street south then the chase turns out of Olmstead Street passing the intersection of Mansell and University. The chase continues into McLaren Park. The chase picks up again on Market Street in Daly City headed eastbound. It continues eastbound on Guadalupe Canyon Parkway through a road cut. At various points during the eastbound portion San Francisco Bay is clearly visible The direction changes and the cars are shown heading westbound, passing through the same road cut they passed through headed east. Shortly afterwards the chase ends when the Charger crashes in flames at a gas station at the corner of Guadalupe Canyon Parkway and North Hill Drive

Did you drive down the street where Bullitt was filmed?
Would that be the curvy part of Lombard Street? If so we did that in 2004 when we visited Coit Tower.
