Weather you own one or more Tri Five's. Which one is your favorite, 55,56,57 body style.

I have owned 4 trifives. Probably my favorite was my first one which was a 55 rag top. I loved that car. It had a 265 with a vette cam and solid lifters, a three 2 set up and a three speed with o.d. on the floor with a Hurst shifter. This not so good picture was taken in 1962.

I guess my favorite would be the 1956 but I really like them all... Later, Dave

'55 is my favorite year.
I was born that year and my Dad bought a new '55 210 2dr sedan with a 265. My parents also bought their first house that year.

In the nomad, I like the '57 the best.

Gotta love the 2 tone paint scheme on the '56 Bel Air too.

I like them all but when I set out to look for a TriFive, it had to be a '55.

57 150

Well yeah- I love the '57 150 as well. It's the only trifive I've owned and it's become part of the family in a way. -But I can't say it's my favorite trifive. I love the aggressive open grill of the '55 and I think the '56 has a great tail section. Plus it was a friends '56 business coupe that I learned to turn a wrench on.
I give up- I love 'em all!

Heck, I'm fickle!!! My 'favorite' anything car is the one I'm building at the present time, so with that in mind I'd have to say my favorite Tri-Five is a '57 2 door C-Dan!!!!!
