What mass produced vehicle used a piston driven engine where as the crank shaft was used as the final drive?
TRIVIA

-
my 1962 Pontiac Tempest.
-
I thought it was the Buick Skylark...
-
Hint: 175000 +/- were made in north America alone under various makes and models.
-
Something that was unsafe at any speed? The Corvair
-
is it the Trojan?
-
Radial engine airplane.

Nice try! The propeller is the final drive. Also there is a reduction drive in the hub. In this case the crank shaft is the final drive.

I'm guessing that Rob was close, while the radial engine did have some gearing, early airplane engines did not, and even modern day, small engine airplanes have no gearing

Is it the Wankel?

The answer is... The steam locomotive The piston to the push rod to the crank shaft which is the final drive (wheels)
There was also another system but not mass produced. The steam driven paddle wheel river boat.
