Hot Car Girl is a 1958 American film directed by Bernard L. Kowalski.[1] Seeing Hot Car Girl in a four-walled playoff in 1958 gave the audience the sense that they were witnessing something clandestine and taboo.[2]

It was an early credit for producer Gene Corman who said "it had a very modest budget... but it served us well."[3]

Plot

Duke and Freddie are two friends who steal car parts and pawn them for support. Duke's girlfriend Peg attempts to dissuade him from this lifestyle. Angered, he taunts her with another girl, Janice, who has driven up alongside him. They lineup for a drag race. A motorcycle policeman who chases them is killed as he crashes into Janice's car. Janice gets arrested. Duke, who has driven off, paints his black car light blue to escape detection. Janice learns his license number, and in fear of being discovered, Duke kills her. Duke coerces Peg to leave town with him. They become on the run thieves. Realizing his luck will not hold out, but unwilling to surrender, Duke sends Peg back. Duke remains alone in an abandoned roadside market awaiting his fate.
