The American SetA Piece of NASCAR's Showroom-Stock Era Comes Up For Sale
This 1957 Ford Fairlane on the market today didn't start life as a purpose-built racer — it started as a production car, later converted for NASCAR competition in an age when "stock car" wasn't just a name. That sets it apart from the modern Cup Series, where cars are engineered from scratch to a common template rather than adapted from the assembly line. For collectors, the Fairlane represents a tangible link to stock car racing's founding premise, back when the machines on track still carried the bones of the cars in American driveways.
