The Devil On Wheels is a 1947 American drama film directed by Crane Wilbur and starring Darryl Hickman.

Todd (who has his own custom Ford hot rod) thinks Michael talks about his brother too much, but encourages him to soup up his car.

Michael's and Jeff's father John is on his way home in a brand-new convertible when he witnesses a fatal car accident, caused by reckless driving.

Arriving home with the new car, Todd appreciates how the speedometer goes up to 120MPH, which causes John to give a lecture about the dangers of street racing.

John has his own reckless driving habits (which he refuses to admit), on full display to the family when he gives them a ride in the new car.
