Does anyone remember or have interest in these late 60s early 70s car comics?

Some of my old childhood memories, Ben. Guess my subject title was misleading... I'm sorry for that. But not for sale.
What's bad is I have barely leafed thru any of these books...  but I love them!

It's quite easy to tell just by looking at the covers. The '57 Chevy with the words "Jackpot" on the hood says it all.

Yeah, you got the decade right anyway!

One thing I've noticed is that the artist doing the cars on these books, must have been a real NASCAR fan. Here's one example that I had spotted as a teen. Pictured below is a photo of Johnny Roberts 1960s flip where G-force and the seat belt stretch allowed Johnny's upper body and extended arm to hang considerably out side the window opening of his race car during this grinding crash.
Notice on the comic book the yellow car flipping with the guy/arm outside the window... Johnny's car was yellow, number 21...one digit difference on comic..
More examples found in the other books... Johnny was not seriously injured in the crash...
