Vehicle Description
1968 was the year David Pearson won it all in NASCAR with a
fastback Ford, and this 1968 Ford Fairlane 500 seems to be trying
to catch some of that spirit. Or maybe those racing stripes are
inspired by the Ford-powered Shelby cars. What we can see is that
the full intent of the sleek white with bold blue racing stripes
painted on top is to showcase a speedy style on this car's clean
and sleek sheet metal. Plus, the form-hugging chrome bummers and
Cragar SS wheels are the right balance of power and polish to make
the full package look quite attractive. Then you add in the custom
bucket seat interior, solid V8 power, and an overdrive
transmission, and you soon realize you want to know everything
about this fastback. Read on...

What makes this one exciting is how much it's a driver's car for
more than just added power. Engine details like the serpentine belt
and aluminum radiator are part of a more thoughtful total package.
And the front bucket seats know how to hug your body in comfort
better than they did in the 1960s. And of course, overdrive makes
trips near or far quite nice. So there's a feeling of a strong
driver that goes well beyond the V8 power. It makes for a great way
to hit the road and show off this fastback's extra speedy and extra
bright style. So when you find a cruiser with size, style,
substance, and power, you know you don't want to let it slip away.
