The car was fully alight when firefighters arrived, and a small patch of grass near the car was also up in flames.
It took about an hour to put the flames out. The car was destroyed.
Fire and Rescue crews were called to another car fire at about 3:10am on Lincoln Street.

One truck manned with four firefighters responded and put the blaze out within an hour.
The car was completely burnt out.
A spokesperson for NSW Police said the vehicles were all stolen overnight from separate locations in Gunnedah.
They said it was unknown if all three vehicle fires were linked.
The fires are being treated as suspicious.
Before the spate of overnight car blazes, Fire and Rescue crews from the Gunnedah brigade had attended four incidents of cars being set on fire in four days.
In a post on social media, crews urged anyone with information to speak up.
"Anyone with any information please contact Crime Stoppers," the post says.
Investigations into the car fires are continuing.
