As promised in my !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , here are the pictures from Parking Foch. The garage itself is huge, about a kilometer long with four rows of parking along the entire length and four levels. I walked all but the ultra–restricted bottom level, and saw some pretty impressive stuff. Classics, ultra high end sports cars, super luxury, and the just plain weird. So many Maseratis and Phantoms I stopped counting, and tons of lower level Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Unfortunately, this encounter was completely serendipitous, so all I had on me was my appalling phone camera. Enjoy!

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Two sad looking short wheelbase MB 600s, covered in dust with sagging pneumatic suspensions.

Dat air suspension doe. Poor thing : /

This is right by the entrance on the Étoile side.

And across the aisle from those cars.

An old Rolls with a nifty paint job.

G55 AMG

Vantage, I think.

Rolls Royce Ghost

DB9 drop top.

The posh cousin and rugged cousin (who both come from a posh family)

The city also uses this garage to store part of their fleet of municipal vehicles, which consists of tons of awesome Land Rover and Toyota trucks.

Six door W220

Somebody’s wrenching down here!

A caged kitty (except it was actually badged as a Daimler, not a Jaguar).

The daily Porsche and the weekend Porsche.

Ferrari FF

Gallardo spyder

Any guesses as to what’s under here?

E–type, so recognizable.

One of the strangest finds: an old Chrysler GTO turbo.

If your guess for the covered car was an Aston Martin DB6, you were right!

Another old roller with Cadillac roof treatment. Except this guy went full grey poupon and had the A–pillars done too.

One of the many, many six figure cars covered in dust.

Ferrari F355 Spider.

Also dusty.

V8 Ford Explorer, weirdly enough.

Big old two door Bentley.

Any guesses as to what this one is? I couldn’t identify it off of those gills alone.

A covered Rolls, apparently trapped. Seriously, I don’t know how they got this thing in there. A 358–point turn maybe?

Really unusual find in Europe: last generation Mustang.

Another dusty old Roller.

I think those MB 600s look awesome that low :) Kinda reminds me of a “shop” I did years ago.

They do sort of look like a sinister, epically luxurious drag strip monster raked forward like that.

Yup, imagine one of these with a NRE 632CU twin turbo engine in it.

We can only dream.. Here’s a video of said engine.. be aware.. VERY LOUD.

Wow, that is one sick turbo setup. If only the engines that were already in the 600s weren’t so cool. Hopefully there’s some crazy rich guy who finds one with no engine lying around.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS!?!?!?? IT NEEDS TO BE DRIVEN!

So many sadly unloved cars down there. People with more money than time, sense, or love.

Why the hell would someone bother importing a LeBaron?!

Thanks for posting these - what a treasure trove.

My pleasure! I stumbled upon it pretty much by accident, and I spent close to an hour and a half and walked about two miles in there. I was like a kid in a candy store the whole time.

or an Explorer.

I’m guessing that the covered car is a Studebaker Avanti.

Lol this one forum I used to be active on had a European kid with a ‘97 explorer. He referred to it as a “Big, burly, American tank”. An explorer.

Which one? The one where I said “Any guesses?” Is an Aston Martin DB6—there was a little badge peeking out from under the cover.

Didn’t notice that picture for some reason, lol.

It took me a minute to realize this probably had a bad air suspesion, and wasn’t actually slammed.

My guess is a 289 Cobra.

Don’t think so. They had gills that were a lot shorter. Not sure myself.

What’s this? It looks so familiar, but obviously not. A Malibu Maxx but the size of a Mazda5?

I believe it’s an Opel Zafira.

I actually noticed how long they are, but I’m still sticking with cobra, maybe just an inaccurate replica?

Ya never know. I can’t come up with anything.

Judging by how common those LeBaron Coupés and Convertibles are in europe, I’d say they were actually sold over here.
