The 1955 Chevy was the first year of the "tri-five" models which have become legendary. They are beautiful, and wildly popular cars which feature clean lines and loads of style. This "shoebox" Chevy, as they became affectionately known, also became a huge pop culture icon over the years and has even appeared in major motion pictures, such as American Graffiti and Two Lane Blacktop. (Crazy fact...It was the same car!). It seems odd to use the word legendary so soon again, but how else can you describe the Chevrolet small-block V8? It was great in these cars, and grew-up to be a part of bigger things as it continued to be offered in various displacements and remained in production for decades. It eventually spread across the GM line-up. All legends have to start somewhere. What better place?
