Anybody remember and/or have pictures....

Pics of it have been posted on here several times. Just wouldn`t know exactly how ro what to search for by name.

I know I have seen it several times just can't seem to search for it correctly

I had pics of the convertible as well (probably borrowed from the same thread). It looks real nice.

Hadn't seen the other ones before.

:confused0006:

Now that's what I call a TriFive

different. :stupido2:

Do you remember the price?

Thanks

I think all of them look good, they did a good job with the body transitions.

I think someone did a 56 Sport Sedan in the same theme... I like like e'm:tu Later, Dave

Clint, There actually was no posted price. This a place somewhere in Texas and the guy has a "FEW" TriFive Chevys for sale. Almost all of them do have a price, this one didn't which probably says something in and of itself. Here's link take a look. Maybe if you do call and get a price you will post it here.

So The big question....

What do you guys think that really is?

Is it a 57 Body with the 55 Front end or is it a 55 car with 57 Fins grafted in?

Will a 55 Front clip bolt onto a 57? I think the frames are the same is the firewall?

I have seen the heritage of the convertible posted but frankly I don't remember what it was.

It's probably a 55 or 56 with 57 quarter panels. The 55 hood isn't going to match a 57 cowl (57 cowl is lower). So it's a 55 or 56 cowl. That's why I say it's a 55 or 56.

The bottoms of the 55 fenders aren't going to match 56 or 57 rocker panels. But that would be relatively easy to modify relative to the cowl problem.

You could put 57 quarters on a 55-56 fairly easily.

Somebody mentioned a sport sedan (4 door hardtop). There's one in Texas that's a sport sedan "as they would have built it in 55". A 56 car with 55 quarters, rockers, and front sheet metal. Much of the stainless side trim is hand made modifications of other 55 trim to get the lengths right (think about it). Michael Domoracki built it quite a few years back. I don't think you'd have the stainless trim problem with the convertible, or at least the mods would be simpler.

I really like the 567 convertible. I thought about doing that to my 56 BA 2-door sedan, and I still might! I think it makes a really unique car, with the best features of all three years.
