Tri-5 Chevys Were Aces At the ACE Show

 It's a rare open car show indeed that does not attract a Tri-5 Chevy Bel Air or two. Introduced in 1950 and named after the posh Los Angeles suburb, the Bel Air was the full size offering from Chevrolet. It was the second generation, though, introduced in 1955, that is the most recognizable among car hobbyists. Those models from 1955 through 1957 are often lovingly called the Tri-5 cars. There were a number of these gems on hand for the ACE Car Show. Here are some of them. Oh, and there is one first generation 1954 model.
