Throughout the whole of the Danchuk Tri-Five Nats, I’ve been working on one thought that won’t go away: ignoring “class models” (you know, the difference between a 150, 210 and Bel Air), effectively this is a show about one model of car, and only three years of that model. How on earth, then, is the show so massive? What is it about 1955, 1956 and 1957 Chevrolet passenger cars that connected with the public in this manner? Remember, this wasn’t a special deal kind of car…this was Chevrolet’s bread and butter for those years, and the factories cranked them out by the millions…almost four million, according to production numbers.<\/p>\n

The few thousand that descended upon Kentucky, then, was merely a drop in the bucket of what is really out there in the world. Even sixty years on, you can go hunting and find a tri-five Chevy to put together if your heart is into it. Try that with a Ford or Mopar of similar vintage. We wish you luck. So again, back to my thought…what is it about these three model years? Do you have answers?<\/p>\n
