Why not grab an old '60's or '70's "bomb" for your gigmobile?
Pontiac Star Chief, Ford Galaxy 500, Chevy Caprice, Buick Electra 225, etc. ($250 - $400)
You can fit your 6/4 or even 8/4 B.A.T. in its hard case in the bomb's trunk, and since many symphony halls are located near slums, that would be a "safe" car to park on the street downtown. You could even customize it with purple metal-flake paint and a leopard-skin cloth top, and gangsta limo-black windows!
Come to think of it, if you happen to live next door to a church, just park this car out in your front yard every day for a month, and a deacon will probably come over offering to buy your house for quite a bit more than it is worth!
