 Again, the Model A highboy...  Again, the Model A highboy coupe shows off its talent as a hot rod via Steve Young’s SBC-powered coupe sporting wide whites, black steelies, spider caps, and trim rings.

Possibly as fine an example of a Deuce highboy is Floyd Williams’ roadster from Dripping Springs, TX. The SBC is Hilborn injected but the old mechanical workings are updated with electronics.

Gassers are the rage and couple...  Gassers are the rage and couple that with the venerable Tri-Five Chevy and you have instant success. Danny Graham Lumberton, TX, has his ’55 running five-spokes, no front bumper, radius rear wheelwells, and an A-arm front suspension. Next step is the straight axle!  More gasser mania is this...  More gasser mania is this ’55 Bel Air we viewed on South Congress during Friday night’s cruising. This Tri-Five did have a straight axle and fenderwell headers.
