Corrected entry: In Madeleine's suicide attempt scene, the plot line gives us to understand that she drove herself to San Francisco Bay alone in her own car before jumping in. After Scottie rescues her, he places her, unconscious, into his car and takes her to his apartment. She awakens some time later, and during a telephone call between Scottie and Elster, she dresses and gets into her car and leaves the scene. There is no explanation of how her car got from the suicide attempt location to Scottie's apartment. She could have taken a taxi or thumbed a ride, but she did neither, since she is shown driving away in her own car.

Correction: Madeleine drives her own green 1957 Jaguar Mk III to the San Francisco Bay and Scottie follows her in his 1956 De Soto Sportsman Hardtop. Madeleine parks her Jag close to the water's edge and Scottie parks his De Soto much further back. After Scottie rescues Madeleine from the water, it is very clear that he places her into the green Jag in order to drive her back to his apartment. He likely chose her car as it was much closer than his own.
