Day at the Museum

Tri-Five Chevys Converge at the Lions Automobilia Museum

Been wondering why there seems to be a Tri-Five era event celebrating the 1955, 1956, and 1957 Chevrolets almost every weekend somewhere in the United States? The answer is simple: nearly 5 million of them were built during those incredible years. General Motors cranked out a massive number of these iconic cars, and thanks to their popularity and durability, a surprisingly large number are still with us today.

Lions Automobilia Foundation and Museum in Rancho Dominguez, California, located approximately a mile and a half north of the OG Lions Drag Strip, presented their 3rd Annual Tri-Five Car Show. And, even with wet weather, Tri-Five owners brought out some of the coolest “drivers” in the area. The host club, California Nomads, drove their hot rods in for the Show and Shine, raffle, museum tours, and a Lions Club Bratwurst Fest for lunch.

A portion of the event included 12 high-school aged teams in the nationwide Hot Rodders of Tomorrow competition. This year, the Agoura High Schoolers took top honors.
