| 1973 Chevrolet C-10 Stepside The Driver (1978) |
ddavidv | Having just watched this movie for the first time in years, I remembered to pay attention to the shifter in the truck. I have to believe at least two trucks were used; there is clearly a floor shifter with a Hurst T-handle in one scene, and in others O'Neal can be seen shifting down toward the seat. Additionally, in the close ups of the pedals, the clutch pedal is barely visible in the background. However, in the close-ups for whatever reason they show him using a automatic column shifter...and in one shot in the warehouse in slow-mo I was able to see that truck did have a column automatic. It's not unusual to have multiple stunt vehicles, but it is odd to find such a difference in transmissions! | 2013-05-08 03:50 | |
| 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 S [W108] The Driver (1978) |
ingo  | Yes, it was -very badly- resprayed. You see that on the pic, where the bumper was torn off. "Racing orange" was not in the W108-colour range. |

| 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 S [W108] The Driver (1978) |
scara  | Here is an article which explains that the car is a 1970 (and not 69) 280S W108. This article also shows the paint codes for the W108 series : I can't find the "racing orange". Maybe the car was resprayed ? Link to "www.peachparts.com" |

CRAFT372 | It is kinda funny that the main character in Drive drove the same model car in Drive from 2011 /vehicle.php?id=419440#Comment1229355 -- Last edit: 2012-09-12 15:32:48 |

| 1968 Dodge Charger The Driver (1978) |
paktype | If its a Charger, why are the headlights exposed? All '68-'70 Chargers had hidden headlamps when the lights were off and/or the ignition was off. | 2012-02-29 17:44 | |

l67guy | I watched this again last night. I love that truck. But in the scene where you can see the tach as he's driving off in it the first time, it has a floor shifter with possibly a Hurst T handle as you can see where Ryan O'Neal's hand hits the dash when he slipped off the handle (he seems to do that often, but that doesn't involve a shifter...hahaha) but later during the chase scenes it has a column shifter. | 2011-12-02 00:51 | |
| 1971 Datsun 1200 [B110] The Driver (1978) |
night cub | I'm pretty sure this is a 1971-73 Datsun 1200 sedan. The front headlights, turn signals, and side repeaters all match the Datsun. | 2011-11-03 00:38 | |
| 1971 Datsun 1200 [B110] The Driver (1978) |
DynaMike | Mazda RX-2 would have had quad headlights. I guess Datsun is the best suggestion until now... | 2011-11-03 00:16 | |
| 1971 Datsun 1200 [B110] The Driver (1978) |

| 1971 Datsun 1200 [B110] The Driver (1978) |
ingo | Sure about it? If an Opel, it has to be a pre-1974 (thin bumpers) Ascona Sedan. Hyper-rare in the US, but at least one we have here: /vehicle_175681-Opel-1900-1971.html But the shape of the side doesn't convice me about an Ascona. It's definetely not the Coupé (resp.Manta A) nor the Wagon (resp.Voyage) I can agree with tonkatracker about Datsun...  -- Last edit: 2011-11-02 23:49:11 |

Neptune | Here is a video of how a "three-speed on the column" manual gearbox works on a rounded-line pickup. Forgive the crudeness of the video. | 2011-06-15 05:56 | |
| The Driver (1978) |
Neptune | If/when this film is re-added with captures from DVD or HD source, more captures of the C-10 pickup, particularly the interior, would be great as they might give the trim level. | 2011-06-15 03:14 | |
| 1973 Chevrolet C-10 Stepside The Driver (1978) |
Neptune | It was a rear-wheel drive only pickup, as its independent front suspension, with contoured lower control "A" arms, was very visible. -- Last edit: 2011-06-15 05:41:30 |

rjluna2 | On my 15th birthday, my father allow me to drive his 1972 SAAB 99E (which subsequently became my first car) with a 4 speed manual at my high school driving course ground. That is how I learn to drive with stick shift  This SAAB 99E has hydraulic clutch system and it is bit tricky to use. When I drove my 1988 Volkswagen Fox, the clutch system was direct mechanical system and it was very easy to use. |

Venomous Mink | Not all of us are too lazy to learn. I, for one, would love to learn to drive stick. The problem lies in the fact that the only car with a standard transmission around FIT is an original '68 AMX in excellent condition. When I get home, the only manual around will belong to an '83 Porsche 911 Targa. If you were the owner of either of these cars, would you hand the keys over to an inexperienced college student? If you happen to have any spare time, please head on down to Florida and introduce me to the ways of the stick shift. Until then, mark me as an exception to your "lazy theory". | 2011-06-15 00:56 | |
| 1977 Peugeot 604 SL The Driver (1978) |
antp | At least another one in front of it. And a blue 504 wagon in background. But I haven't seen the movie so I do not know if there are more visible. But why would these be unsaleable, as the movie was shot only one year after the start of importation of these  -- Last edit: 2011-05-11 15:25:43 |

| 1977 Peugeot 604 SL The Driver (1978) |
tonkatracker | yes the 604 was sold in the US from 1977-1984. That being said I guess this one should be listed as a 1977 |

| 1977 Peugeot 604 SL The Driver (1978) |
dsl | Just read a comment in a magazine "Towards the end, there's a warehouse with a stash of unsold (and probably unsaleable) Federal-spec Peugeot 604s". Are there several visible onscreen or just this one? Did Peugeot try selling 604 in US? | 2011-05-10 20:31 | |
| 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon The Driver (1978) |

| 1973 Chevrolet C-10 Stepside The Driver (1978) |
tonkaTRACKER | lightfoot1976's Comment got me thinking...Do most non-Americans think that we all drive automatics? My mother-in-law is the only person I have ever met that can't drive a manual transmission. And as I told my wife I think that people that do not "know how" to drive manuals are just to lazy to learn, as it is very easy. My first car was a 5-speed and I like driving manuals better. Although It was tricky driving my friends 1961 Ford F-350 with a 3-speed this weekend just because I am used to the placement of the gears in a 5-speed. | 2010-08-06 03:52 | |
| 1973 Chevrolet C-10 Stepside The Driver (1978) |
l67guy | definitely 1973-74 by the grille, which has a 454 emblem if you look closely. It also has a factory tach which can be seen in the rear window shots as he's shifting. | 2010-08-06 00:30 | |

tanavin | Ert-egm, I'm sorry, video game adaption? The game "Driver" it is you're talking about... As so, "Driver" is an adaption of several movies, and it is also true that it is especially more closely related as an adaption of this movie "The Driver". The titles are also very close, but however, the game "Driver", in my opinion, as a movie would be better than this movie, so it un-worthy to call the game a adaption of this. |
