Clint Curtis

When grieving widower Mr. Avery discovers an abandoned 1937 Cord gathering dust in his garage, Clint Curtis offers to restore the classic beauty—a labor of love that gradually brings the isolated man back to life. As the two work together to rebuild the elegant machine from the ground up, Mr. Avery finds solace in the shared mission, and an unexpected conversation during a drive to a regional car competition sets him on a path toward reconciliation. This heartfelt tale shows how the passion for vintage automobiles can mend more than just an engine.

Ghost Rod
4 pp · car

Highway Patrolman John Bailey investigates a mysterious speeder terrorizing the back roads in the early morning hours, pursuing the reckless driver across nine days of patrols until a motorcycle finally gives him the edge he needs to close in. When Bailey finally corners the "ghost rod," the identity of the driver—and the reason behind his dangerous nights—forces the patrolman to reckon with how a young troublemaker's poor choices can spiral into something far more serious. A cautionary tale about rule-breaking on the open road, told from a lawman's perspective.

When a custom car enthusiast gets roughed up at the drag-strip, Clint Curtis—a local hot rod expert—sees an opportunity to teach a bully a lesson. Curtis helps the driver transform his fancy but underpowered '57 Ford into a genuine speed machine, complete with a powerful engine and six carburetors. As race day arrives, the rebuilt custom rod gets its chance to prove what real performance looks like against the trash-talking troublemaker.
