Despite the onscreen credit for the "Two-Fisted Tales" comic book, this was not based on any EC Comic and was actually an original story, and was originally produced for the unsold anthology series Two-Fisted Tales (1992).
Iceman's car: Black, 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-Door Sedan running an automatic transmission. It is missing the front bumper, a popular deletion in the early 1960's to save weight on the car. Billy's car: Yellow, 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle 2-Door Hardtop running a 4 speed transmission. Carey's car (being fixed): Red, 1965 Ford Mustang with 289 V8 engine as the fuel pump was seen.
The episode was shot in 1992. Iceman's incident took place 27 years earlier making that year 1965.
The title is based on the 1965 song "King of the Road" written and recorded by country singer Roger Miller.
