Dear Comrade Storing,
I believe the car that's parked next to the "island" in the Robert Hughes clip can seen at the 08:56 mark in the National Geographic video you told us about, and I believe it's the same car that Officer Baker ran in front of in Couch-Darnell while on his way to the TSBD entrance.
So much for "There was no car parked alongside the Island."
Suggestion: Why don't you get a graphics program, figure out how to use it, and mark the car you're referring to in all of the images you believe it appears it?
Truth is, you're such a crummy writer that at least half the time I have no you-know-what idea what you're talking about.

The "no car parked alongside the Island" is in reference to what we see on the WIEGMAN Film. That portion of the Wiegman Film was captured when the JFK Limo was still on Elm St.
The car you are referencing on the Nat Geo presentation is parked in a different location. Inspector Sawyer's car which we see Euins and Brehm sitting inside, was parked with its' trunk stretching across the (L) front steps of the TSBD. The car you mention is sitting further up the Elm St Ext than the Inspector Sawyer car. The car you mention is NOT parked at the end of the Island. It is parked further down the Elm St Ext.
Remember to use the Signal Light Pole as a Landmark. On the Couch/Darnell films, we see this Signal Light Pole as Officer Baker runs across the front of the car parked at the END of the Island.
I believe the Hughes Film snippet showing the front of the TSBD, also shows this very same car still parked at the end of the Island. (And this is a posted, "NO PARKING ZONE"). This portion of the Hughes Film showing this same car was filmed roughly 15-20 minutes after the Kill Shot. I believe this car was abandoned at the End of the Island: (1) when Officer Smith ran toward the car/down the Elm St Ext to check the bushes, and (2) Officer Baker turned his motorcycle from Houston St onto Elm, parked his motorcycle at the curb, and then ran directly toward this same car as he headed toward the TSBD. Whoever was in that car got nervous when seeing this law enforcement activity around them, got out of the car, and distanced themselves from the car.
