Google street view shows that address to be a parking lot. Gone like the Dauphine. I once got rear-ended twice in the same day and it still ran.

These cars were actually very rugged. Coming home from a night of teeage drinking, I was in the back seat of one of these with three girls in my class. The driver swerved off the road and started rolling side over side about four times until the roof was flattened over a foot and knocked the front suspension out of line. Nobody was really hurt bad so we uprighted the car from its side and continued driving home at a diagonal angle to the road with no headlights of glass.
