red car

Scarlet-painted motor vehicle

A red car is simply a car that is red—an automobile painted or finished in any shade of red.

The phrase has no special meaning beyond its literal components, though red cars figure in folk beliefs about attracting police attention or higher insurance rates.

I spotted a red car in the parking lot.
