The film “Duel” was the first feature film appearance of director Steven Spielberg. What a way to open a career.
The 1960 Peterbilt 351 was helmed by a stunt driver named Carey Loftin.
Does the name sound familiar to BZ readers? It should. Carey Loftin was one of the stunt drivers utilized in the 1968 film “Bullitt” starring Steve McQueen. Loftin was one of three drivers of the highland green Ford Mustang, along with Bud Ekins and McQueen himself, who only drove 10% of the time.

Duel? What a great film! I still recall the first time that I saw it.
Me too! Scared the crap out of me for a while, checking my rearview for a trashy brown fuel truck.
