The name of the brand and car was stamped onto the side, in front of the driver’s door, in that stamped metal lettering. It was some cursive font. I don’t exactly remember what it said, and I already tried searching on my own, but I think it said corvette c2 or something like that. I may be misremembering entirely, but it was definitely <brand><letter><number>

It had 6 rear red taillights, rectangular in shape, oriented vertically, in 2 groups of 3 on each side of the car. Like -> ||| |||

The car was red (I realize this likely doesn’t help, but it’s here anyway), with a spoiler. It was either a convertible, or had no roof at all.

The brand logo at the front of the car was not standing up on an ornament.

When I tried searching, I just couldn’t find the taillight orientation at all, let alone the right car :D

It was fairly boxy and angular, which makes me think it’s a bit older.

If there’s any other details that might be helpful, ask and I might remember.

    If the other comments correctly lead you to a Mustang, there’s many trims over the years and owners are notorious for adding extra nameplates and decals. One thing to note is they basically never say “Ford” from the factory because it’s supposed to be so iconic, you just know it’s a Mustang. If it was a mustang, I can help arrow it down and possibly determine whether the badges were factory or add-ons. Some trims/special models over time include Mach 1, Boss 302, Boss 429, Bullitt, Shelby, Shelby GT350, Shelby GT500, SVT Cobra, Roush, Roush Stage # (1-3), Grande, and SVO.

    Narrowing down to a generation would really help. Since you didn’t know it was a mustang, I’d say the easiest way to break down the years is like this: 64-73, “Mustang ii”, fox body, SN95 or New Edge, 05-14, 15+. Some of those look incredibly different within each bracket to a knowledgeable person, but let’s use that as a starting point. It’s hard to tell how old you thought it was
