Name given to troupe of automotive thrill show performers that toured the USA from the 1930s to the 1950s. These daredevils were the forerunners of Evil Knievel, who attempted to jump Arizona's Grand Canyon in the late 1960s. Some famous Death Drivers were Joie Chitwood, Lucky Teeter, Bob Clay, Jimmy Lynch, and Oscar Abraham.
