Tri Five Chevy Parts

Initially, General Motors executives wanted an entirely new car for 1957, but production delays necessitated the 1955--56 design for one more year. Ed Cole, chief engineer for Chevrolet, dictated a series of changes that significantly increased the cost of the car. These changes included a new dashboard, sealed cowl, and the relocation of air ducts to the headlight pods, which resulted in the distinctive chrome headlight that helped make the '57 Chevrolet a classic. Fourteen-inch wheels replaced the fifteen-inch wheels from previous years to give the car a lower stance, and a wide grille was used to give the car a wider look from the front. The now famous '57 Chevrolet tailfins were designed to duplicate the wide look in the rear. Bel Air models were given gold trim: the grille, front fender chevrons, hood, and trunk script were all rendered in anodized gold. The 1957 Chevrolets did not have an oil pressure gauge or a voltmeter.[1] The base engine was an inline 6-cylinder called the Blue Flame Six. The engine was smoother running than the V-8. Carburetion came from a single one-barrel carburetor.

1955 Chevy
The 1955 Chevy was the 1st of the Chevy Tri-Five series and the first Chevy to come with a V8 engine (265 cubic-inches) since 1918. It introduced many features that would become popular in cars from the 1950s. The 1955 Chevy included three basic models: the Bel Air, the Two-Ten, and the One-Fifty and 16 new body styles. Of course, '55 was also the first year for the Nomad.

1956 Chevy
The 1956 Chevy was still the same basic design and was a carry over model from the 1955 Chevy but had some major styling changes in the grille, trim and other accessories. Some of those changes included redesigned front and rear fenders, a full width grille, redesigned side trim, larger rectangular parking lights, and a hidden gas cap that was behind the left taillight.

1957 Chevy
The 1957 was the last of the Tri-5 Chevy series that included large tail fins, twin rocket hood design, more chrome, tri-color paint and a larger available 283 cubic-inch engine. Though based on the 1955 and 1956 Chevy, the 1957 had sharp but tasteful tail fins that a year later would dissolve into the low and curved rear fenders of the totally restyled 1958 Chevy.
