A car locator is provided having a base for attaching the locator to a car. A cantilevered support rod is pivotally connected with the base to permit pivotal movement and positioning of the rod relative to the base. A hollow marking sleeve having an outer transparent tube and an inner fluorescent liner disposed within the tube slidably mounts onto the support rod for marking the car. The sleeve engages the support rod with sufficient contact force to retain the sleeve in position on the support rod. The sleeve is slidably removable from the support rod so that the sleeve may be pulled from the support rod.

[ What is claimed is:] [20.] A vehicle locator for marking a vehicle comprising:(a) a base for mounting the locator to the vehicle, the base having a mounting section for engaging the vehicle to permit the locator to be mounted on the vehicle and a rod support having a pair of support ribs projecting from the base to provide a groove therebetween;(b) a pivot pin traversing the groove supported by the support ribs;(c) a cantilevered support rod projecting from the base having a free end of predetermined outside width and a mounting end disposed within the groove and pivotally connected with the pivot pin at the rod support of the base to permit the rod to be pivotally moved between selected positions relative to the base, the rod being frictionally held by the rod support relative to the base to enable the rod to remain in position after the rod is moved between positions; and(d) a highly visible marking post having an open end to permit slidable mounting of the post onto the cantilevered support rod in slip fit for marking of the vehicle, the open end of the post having an inside width that is generally the same as the outside width of the free end of the rod so that the cooperating contact between the post and the rod retains the post in position on the rod, wherein the marking post includes a marking sleeve having a transparent tube and a fluorescent insert disposed within the tube.
