Published by California Dreams, Street Rod is a 1989 video game released for DOS, Amiga, and Commodore 64. Set in the swingin' sixties, you're a young man who has to buy and upgrade a car, then compete in races with cash...or your car...on the line. You can either do a drag race down a straight road, or do one on the winding streets. The goal of the game is to win two races against a champion driver known simply as "The King" before the summer ends. If you defeat him, you win his car and girlfriend. Take too long to beat him or run out of money, and it's game over, man.
The second installment, Street Rod 2, was released in 1990. It's more like a stand-alone expansion as it added new cars, new parts, and a new race type, but didn't change the basic gameplay.
