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.

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.

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.
