Bob's Vintage

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Bob’s Vintage car shop closed its doors, a mysterious figure started appearing in the rear mirror of every departing customer. A regular, who often came for vintage parts, noticed it first and mentioned it to no one but his dog, Rusty. The dog would bark excitedly whenever the reflection appeared, but only after hours, when the streets were quiet. Finally, someone asked the ghostly reflection a question—an impatient delivery driver wanted to know why he was blocking the exit. With a deep, gravelly voice, the reflection replied, ‘Bob’s gonna be late tomorrow.’ Everyone laughed nervously as they drove off, leaving Rusty barking wildly into the empty night.

2. At night, when Bob’s Vintage car shop closed its doors, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. Every Tuesday, an old Ford Mustang would quietly pull up to the back entrance and park itself. The engine would cut off, but the headlights stayed on for exactly three minutes before fading away. Curious, the delivery guy watched through the window as the car’s door opened slightly—just enough for a tiny hand to wave goodbye. Turns out it was just the owner’s little granddaughter playing with her toy remote control. Now every Tuesday, after closing, Bob leaves his shop lights on for her imaginary racecar friend.

3. One morning, a delivery driver asked himself: ‘Why does Bob always leave one headlight on in his vintage cars?’ Finally, he noticed an old cat sleeping under the dashboard. Turns out, Bob’s faithful feline friend was using that lone headlight as her nightlight. Ever since then, whenever someone asked why only one light stayed on, Bob would wink and say, ‘Because Fluffy needs her sleep too.’

4. At night, when Bob’s Vintage car shop closed its doors, a curious little dog would appear from around the corner. Each time it approached the old cars, its tail would wag furiously until suddenly—it would freeze, staring into the empty workshop window with wide-eyed wonder. One night, an exhausted delivery driver stopped by for a rest. Seeing the dog, he knelt down and offered a sausage. The dog took one bite then looked up, still transfixed on the workshop. With a laugh, the driver said, ‘I guess you’re more interested in those cars than my snacks!’
