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...
