DALE EARNHARDT\'S FIRST RACE CAR1956 Ford Victoria \"K-2\" — Autographed 1:24 Diecast Bank
Own a piece of NASCAR history. This 1:24 scale diecast bank is a faithful replica of the 1956 Ford Victoria driven by a young Dale Earnhardt in his very first race at the old Concord Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina — personally autographed by Dale Earnhardt himself on the roof.
The Story Behind the Pink PaintEvery legend has an origin story, and this one is pure NASCAR folklore. The roof was painted with an apricot metal-flake finish, and the decision was made to match the rest of the body to it. When the paint dried, it wasn\'t apricot at all — it was pink. There wasn\'t enough money to repaint the car, so it raced exactly as it was. Car #K-2, sponsored by Dayvault\'s Tune Up & Brake Service, went on to become one of the most talked-about cars in short-track racing lore — and the engine was hand-built by Dale\'s father, NASCAR legend Ralph Earnhardt, linking two generations of racing greatness in one small package.
