The last time I was there, there was a Hudson stock car parked in front of the Museum, Hall of Fame, and gift shop by the track at Talledega.
Don't know if it's still there.
BTW, the museum also had one of Art Arfons' "Green Monsters", the first car that hit 200 in the quarter. Talk about a piece of junk for going 200mph. It had split rim dual wheels in back, the frame rails had been cut with a torch without even knocking the slag off, etc. No rear suspension, the frame just bolted to the axle. I can't imagine those split rims going 200.
Don't know if it was this Green Monster or not, but a reporter once asked Arfons what the car had for steering. Arfons replied, "'49 Packard".
The reporter asked why '49 Packard, assuming there were engineering principles involved. Arfons replied, "It was the only thing I could find laying out in back of the shop".
