Pick your Tri-Five flavour: A '56 sporting some patina, or a '57 in that iconic Matador Red? My choice would actually be the '56 210 sedan I saw elsewhere on the grounds, with a cool retro stock car vibe with its steelies. It sounded ace, too. As cool as the Nomads and wagons are, I've always liked the design of the sedans better, and more, been drawn to the 150s/210s instead of the Bel Airs, as I think they look cleaner with their simpler lines. Did you know that it's easy to spot V8-equipped cars from this era? Starting in 1956, Chevy began putting a big 'V' on the bonnet underlining the emblem on its 8-cylinder cars. The 6-cylinder cars didn't have it.
Proper rarity here: Gordon-Keeble GT. An interesting blend of British and American engineering, and Italian styling. The car was designed by Giugiaro and powered by a 327 Chevy V8, and had features like a space frame chassis and four-wheel disc brakes. It reportedly did 0-60 in six seconds and could top out at 140mph, making it one of the quicker road cars of the day. Only 99 were ever produced. The light isn't great in this photo because I snapped it quickly as so many people were looking at it, and when I went back to look again later, it was gone. Really cool thing, though.
