Your " caption car' looks like a Honda N360. Thay had a 360 cc. motorcycle type motor and where smaller than a mini. I have got an early station wagon type version tucked away in a farm shed. They are that small and light that one strong person can physically push on the side of the car to move it into tight parking spaces and they turn on a dime anyway, so the garage with the pole in front would not be too much of a challenge.

Mine hasnt got the split personality though LOL
