ABSTRACT:
A device is removably mounted on the exterior roof surface of an automotive vehicle, for locating the vehicle while parked in a crowded parking lot. The locator device comprises a magnetic base attachable to the vehicle roof, a mast extending upwardly from the base, and a pennant extending laterally from the mast. The pennant is preferably formed of a stiff plastic sheet, so as to have a large surface area presented for viewing by the motorist when he returns to the parking lot seeking his vehicle. The magnetic base has three hundred sixty (360) degree adjustability around the mast axis, so that the stiff plastic sheet can face in any desired compass direction.
