About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. On a foggy morning in downtown Detroit, a delivery driver pulled up to Broadway Auto Sales. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd: one of the cars on display seemed to be moving ever so slightly. Curious, he approached the vehicle and saw an old man waving from inside, happily honking the horn. Turned out, it was just an enthusiastic owner showing off his new pride and joy. The delivery driver laughed, shook hands with the neighbor, and went back to work—leaving another urban legend for future tellers.

2. In the dimly lit parking lot of Broadway Auto Sales, a curious shadow moved between cars late one night. ‘Who’s been stealing our brake lights?’ asked a regular, scratching his head. Suddenly, an old man in a tweed jacket emerged from behind a rusty truck, muttering something about 'bad brakes on these old hunks'. A delivery driver chuckled and shook his head, remarking, 'Guess he just likes fixing up cars here more than selling them.'

3. In the early hours of a Saturday morning, a delivery driver approached Broadway Auto Sales with a full truckload. As he parked, someone called out from the shadows: ‘Hey, do you sell cars that run on coffee?’ The delivery driver scratched his head and replied, 'Well, not exactly. But these babies sure get you anywhere fast!' A neighbor passing by laughed and said, 'Next time, bring one that runs on sleep—I'll buy it!'

4. At night, when Broadway Auto Sales closed its doors, a regular noticed something peculiar: a small dog would appear from behind the used cars, wagging its tail and staring curiously at the showroom lights. The regular followed the little dog through the empty lot, calling out gently. To his surprise, the pup led him to an old crate under some bushes. Inside was another dog—a big, sleepy-looking mutt with a torn collar—and a note scribbled on a scrap of paper: ‘Thanks for saving us! We’re just waiting for our owners.’ The next day, Broadway Auto Sales had two new residents—two friendly pups who turned out to be someone’s lost pets.
