Whose Car is Parked in the Market Square Garage?

market-square-car

Last night I took advantage of the after hours free parking in Market Square garage. After all, it was the closest spot located nearest to my destination, Cafe 4.

As I walked towards the exit I came upon what has become a pillar of the parking garage, the covered car pictured above. For as long as I can remember, this car has adorned the same spot.

Whose little red covered car is always parked in Market Square garage and what make and model is it? I wasn’t brave enough to pull the cover and find out for myself.

  1. I’ve got a picture of this car on my cellphone, too. Would love to know what it is. Maybe an old MG?

  2. I’ve wondered why that car is always there too. I agree with CP, a MG seems like a reasonable guess to me.

  3. I’ve seen that thing time and time again. Next time I’m downtown, if its there, I will pull back the cover. Hopefully I can remember to bring my camera. :)

    It may warrant mentioning, there’s an old school Jeep that’s always parked in the garage too. Usually with the top off.

  4. Does it ever move? Or a permanent exhibit?

  8. It is an MG B, circa 1980 or so. Beautiful little car in terrific condition. I know the owner, too. He drives another vehicle as his main transportation. A few years ago we owned a 1980 MG B and every time I see this one, I miss mine more!
