Regardless of the model mistakes I find the Super Stocks pretty interesting cars of that time and worthy of more info. one worthy note no SCRUB Super Stocks were noted. Agreed, S/S were always my favorites.

Typical Hot Rod Magazine article 57RancheroJim (12/13/2021)
Information passed on isn't always correct or by people who don't know.. They say the black one was a Fairlane,WRONG it's a Custom 300. The white one is a Custom and NOT a Fairlane either.

Yeah Jim, you're probably right. And with no radio, heater or clock and without undercoating. Ultra stripper.

I've never herd of a factory lightweight. I think the lightest would be a business coupe that didn't have a rear seat or rear roll down windows.
