What Kind of Car Did Columbo Drive? (Hint: Peugeot) One of America’s most lovable goofball detectives was Columbo. Despite having the sharpest mind on television between 1971 and 1978, the irascible detective invariably looked rumpled and must have driven the most disreputable looking car on the small screen. What Kind of Car was Columbo’s? There were two different cars used during the series run. Both were Peugeots…a 1959 and a 1960 Peugeot model 403 cabriolet to be exact. The 403 was not sold in the North American market, giving it an exotic look, but the car used was just as rumpled as its owner, offering fluidity to the show itself.

The John Wick Car First of all a little about the John Wick car. The car is in fact a 1969 Mach1 and not a Boss 429 (7.0 litre) v8 as mentioned in the film. The subtle give away was the hood scoop not being big enough, also the Boss 429 didn’t have a rear spoiler either.
