Hot Rods and Racing Cars #55

This anthology issue features "Clint Curtis and the Road Knights" as the primary story, which opens with Sam Cramer hospitalized after a serious accident that nearly destroys his car, leaving him unable to race; a mysterious man named Baldwin visits Cramer in the hospital and offers to keep his car while it's being repaired. The second story follows Ed Graney, who has lost his girlfriend Joy to boys with fancy cars; when a gentleman offers Graney a ride in his truck to meet someone, Graney accepts, hoping to win Joy back by showing her he can drive a superior vehicle. A third story depicts a Grand Prix-style car race where Rimmon competes in a high-speed event, with dramatic action sequences showing vehicles spinning out and crashing on the track.
