If there is one thing I really dig about the Danchuk Tri-Five Nationals, it’s that you get a chance to see the 1955-57 Chevrolet in just about any and every form under the sun, which is a pleasant change from most shows, where they are either restoration perfect, modified to kill, or are street drivers being shown as one of the previous two options. Case in point: I’ve seen many droptop 1957 Chevrolet Bel Airs in red, with the red-and-black button interior, claiming to be a fuel injected 283 car. What I haven’t seen in person until this show was a 1955 Chevrolet ambulance/hearse (honestly, it claimed both, so I’m not 100% sure). There were at least two former military cars that still had hand-painted lettering all over, including TMP (motor pool) numbers on the bumpers. I saw one street-driven, dirt-track style racer 1957, and while I have my doubts to whether or not they were real-deal cars, there were at least two very well-executed Black Widow 1957s on the lawn. And the amount of dead-stockers with straight-sixes and manuals on the tree…oh, man…
