1957 Chevy, hence user name. Will never buy a new car. Was my Dad's for ten years. Then Mom got her drivers license in it and drove it 5 years, then Sis got her license in it and drove it. Then I got my license and drove it during High School/College years. Then it sat on a lawn for 12 years. Rebuilt. Now my daily driver. My daughter got her license in it and now drives it when she is home from college.

That's actually more than awesome. It's so cool when you're able to keep something in the family like that, something that so many people can appreciate. I read this article last year about the world's largest Tri-Five show. Were you there by any chance?

Nope but I do love the tri-fives. It was in a couple of the local shows to show off the work by the body and paint guys when its was first restored, but just a daily driver since. Nice to have a car I can work on. It's modernized with disk brakes, fuel injection and electronic ignition so starts and stops reliably and gets decent mileage.

That's awesome. You really get the best of both worlds that way. I bet it's a hell of a head turner.
