— The Player |
The Car is a structure that was added to Granny in Version 1.4. It can be found in the Garage, and it is a structure that the Player can hide in. It may keep the Player hidden from Granny depending on conditions detailed in the 'Hiding Mechanics' section. The Car also has many compartments that items may spawn in. As of Version 1.5, the Car can be used as an alternative escaping method. As of Version 1.6, the Car is also used as a weapon to kill the Player, being used by Granny to run over the player if you use all of your days.
Appearance
The Car used to be a 1956-1965 Moskvitch 402, a compact car that was manufactured by the former Soviet automobile maker, MZMA. The Car is a pastel-ish brown and dark red color, most probably due to rapid corrosion and aging.
The model used for the car is a free model created by AzuzaNyan on TurboSquid. The download to it can be found here.
Starting in Version 1.7, the car is now a FSO Warszawa (first car manufactured in Poland after WW2). It's now white and rusty.
The model can be found here.
Car Mechanics & Properties
Compartments
The Car has three compartments: The Car Hood, the passenger-side glove box, and the trunk (or boot). The trunk can only be unlocked using the Car Key, while the other compartments are always opened from the start of the game.
To see which items can spawn in these compartments, see Item Locations.
Passenger-Side Door (Right Door)
The Car has a loose passenger-side door, which can be pulled off. Beware though, as when the door hits the floor, it will create noise, alerting Granny into the Garage.

Rear Bumper
The Rear Bumper of the Car is loose and will fall off if the Player touches it. When it hits the floor, loud noise is made, alerting Granny. It is located right under the Trunk.

Escaping
As of the V1.5 update, the Car can be used as an alternate escape method to the Main Door. The Player will need many different tools and items that spawn around the house which will all go to different parts of the Car.
The player will need: The Gasoline Can to fuel up the gasoline tank in the Trunk of the Car, the Engine Part, Car Battery, Spark Plug and Wrench are needed to fix the unfinished engine in the engine bay, the Padlock Key to open the Garage Door, and finally, the Car Key to start the car. Exiting the house in this way will trigger the new ending which shows Granny watching the Player take off in the car.
Interestingly, starting the Car will also alert Granny that you are inside the Car, even if she did not see you enter. As soon as you have it running, waste no time! Start ramming into the wall quickly. Although Granny can not pull you out of the Car while it is moving, keep in mind if you forgot to open the Garage Door, you will have no choice either but only to exit the Car and simply get knocked out by Granny.
Hiding Mechanics
To hide in the Car, simply stand near the left side of the Car, and then press the Car icon in the top right corner of the screen to immediately hide inside (to get out, do the same thing and vice versa). The Player will be in the driver seat while hiding. When the Player gets out of the Car, they will be standing next to the driver side door. When inside the Car, you can see Granny, but she can't see you hiding inside the car.
Just like the Chest, and the Cabinet, if Granny spots the player as they are about to hide in the Car, she will open the car door and pull the player out of the Car, hitting and sending them to the next day (Game Over if hit on Day 5 or 6) like usual.

Trivia
- The previous Car model (Moskvitch 402) is reused from a game entitled "Slendrina: The Forest", a game created by DVloper.
- The FSO Warszawa (remodeled car on V1.7) was reused from the game HeadHorse. (not a game made by DVloper)
- The Car's model is reused in Granny: Chapter Two's practice mode's Main Door ending.
- It can be also seen in the intro cutscene of Granny: Chapter Two where the Player is held inside of it probably sleeping then woke up while Granny is Driving to Grandpa's house.
- Additionally, the Car also appears in Granny 3. But it cannot be operated in any way.
- The Remote Control, Playhouse Key, Winch Handle, and the Barrel used to spawn in the Car's parts.
- You can get into the Car's Trunk by after reversing it, get into the Stairs and crouch into it.
- This will somehow soft lock the player from going out of the Car. (Unless they got knocked out by Granny.)
- The Player can hide in front of the Car, but this is not recommended.
- The Car is the first vehicle used for both a Good Ending and a Game Over.
- Second being the Train in Granny 3 where it is used as Good Ending and a Game Over too.
- FSO WArszawa original model can be found here.
- Moskvitch 402 original model can be found here.
- In the game files of Slendrina The Forest, the Car is called 'beige'. This name is probably based from the color of the Car.
- In the mobile port, when you reverse the car and get out, you can actually notice the shadow or imprint of the car and its grill, along with its tires. It could either indicate how dirty the car beneath is, or it could be an unknown glitch where the shadow doesn't follow.
- This cannot be seen in the PC port of the game.
- Additionally, to observe it in more detail, you first have to knock Granny out to spare you enough time.
