Goodguys 1st Virtual Car Show – Tri-Five Chevy Corral presented by Designer Street Rods
Some could argue that the 1955 Chevrolet was the first “muscle car” with the introduction of Chevrolet’s first V8 platform engine that scaled in at 265 cubic-inches and produced a whopping 162 horsepower with a two-barrel carb. Over the next three years the Tri-Five Chevy generation featured various body and styling options ranging from a hardtop, sedan, convertible or wagon and a 150 base model, an upgraded 210, the Bel Air, Nomad, 2 door, 4 door…the list goes on.
GM allowed these three years of classics to become so widely popular with the many different styles and options, thus having a wide span of price points. Nobody will argue that Tri-Five Chevy’s are some of the most sought-after classic vehicles to restore and customize. Taking a look at this Tri-Five Chevy Corral gallery presented by Designer Street Rods solidifies that point!
A lifelong car kid, Steven grew up around drag strips – his name may sound familiar because his grandfather is Bob Bunker, a Pro Mod pioneer who piloted the “Folsom Flash” ’55 Chevy from the ’70s through the ’90s. Steven’s father, Bob Bunker Jr., heads up Bunker Motorsports and is a regular in the West Coast racing scene, building chassis and race cars for more than 30 years. With genetics like that, it’s no wonder Steven has a passion for both cars and motorsports. In addition to helping his father and honing his fabrication skills at Bunker Motorsports, Steven began shooting photos at the drag strip and capturing the action with his Canon camera. He is now artfully crafting stories around the awesome machines at the shows, as well as the men and women behind them. When he's is not on the road covering events, he spends his downtime out on the water fishing, building his 1962 Chevy Nova, or cruising his 1987 GMC Suburban.
