I've seen this one driving around North Portland for at least ten years.

Yea at first I was like oh cool tri5. then I saw it closer and was like Wahoo Gasser Tri5. Haha

I think my BIL might know this guy and actually worked on the car, along with his "other" tri5 gasser.

For those interested in gassers there is a group who run regularly. Southeast Gassers I believe it's called and they run over Tenn, North and South Carolina, Georgia way.

How about this cream puff?

Nice. Aside form the gasser stance that could belong to a guy I know. He has a white/blue one that looks almost identical.

That's a cool truck. makes me smile a little bit there's a lift kit on a stake bed which somebody has to load, presumably. Maybe with the fork lift though. Looks like there's an aluminum aero-foil on top of the cab. Pretty important to make sure that you got aero considerations covered when you've got a full load in your stake bed, haha. Neat truck for sure. I'd snag it in a heartbeat…

Yea I have been seeing so many more of these older work trucks lately. It's like they just came out of the woodwork all of a sudden. I would drive this thing for sure.

**Ironhorse** · 12-17-2023, 06:27 PM

Saw this at the local Wally World, parked well away from the crowd. I do the same when I take my '57 out for a spin. Seems too many folks just don't seem to respect classic iron for what it is. Thought I knew all the tri-fives locally here, don't recall seeing this one before. Pretty clean looking Bel Air, will have to watch for it and get acquainted.

Sicklajoie · 12-17-2023, 07:02 PM

I drove mine down to Pound Ridge NY for a Christmas party Friday night. Over a 4 hr round trip at 12 mpg. Not bad for a 402 with 3.54s

yuccales · 12-17-2023, 09:29 PM

I recognize that license plate.

**3757chevy** · 02-27-2024, 04:55 PM

I saw this '57 Ford at the store Yesterday.

**Ironhorse** · 02-27-2024, 05:40 PM

And with side pipe exhaust no less! Don't see that much at all anymore. Wonder if those are THRUSH pipes? They used to be really big on the street machines with side exhaust in the late 60s and early 70s. Little bit of a jacked up rear end, five spoke custom wheels. Old school, baby!

My Grandpa had a two tone blue and white 4 door '57 Fairlane he bought new when he traded in a 4 door '49 Ford Custom.

I like it just the way it is.

We went to town today for the first First Friday in Canon City. Seven cars showed up where we sometimes fill the whole block. One of the cars that did show up was a '50 Desoto with an LS motor.

Funny you say that. It was bought by his Grandpa when he was seven and he got it from his grandma.

Very cool. His plan is to keep the patina.
