What better way to start the TRI-5 page than with the most spectacular 1957 Chevrolet BelAir Convertible that Jim has ever seen! UNBELIEVABLE! |

Rochester Indiana, October 13th 2007 Jim has not been "hiding under a rock".. He gets to see some car shows. Jim had never seen this one. This Indiana car blew him away! It must not get out much? Can you blame them? |
Rochester Indiana, October 13th 2007 Jim doesn't know how to classify this one. A "BARN FIND" a "TRI-5" or a "RAT ROD" It had obviously been sitting for quite some time. Jim estimates that the paint is 1970s era lacquer and it is cracking and falling off in sheets. This 1956 Nomad is well on it's way back to it's former glory with an LT1 engine with 700R4, as well as suspension mods and modern wheel-tire combo. |
