In Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction, what model of car does Vincent Vega drive?

Vincent Vega drives a 1964 Chevrolet Malibu in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction.

The Malibu belongs to Vincent, played by John Travolta, and becomes important when Jules Winnfield accidentally gets blood and brain matter inside it after the shooting in the car. Vincent later discovers that the vehicle has been cleaned and restored by Winston Wolfe, the fixer played by Harvey Keitel.

The car is a 1964 Chevrolet Malibu, a detail that is easy to overlook because the movie focuses more on the characters’ conversation and the disastrous cleanup than on the vehicle’s specifications. Its disappearance later creates another problem when Butch Coolidge finds and takes it.

Viewers sometimes identify the car as a Chevrolet Impala or another 1960s American coupe. The film’s dialogue and reference material identify it specifically as a Malibu, making the model more precise than simply calling it a vintage Chevrolet.
