The Hot One, as Chevy's 1955 ads called it, really was.
In one model year, Chevrolet managed to wipe away its stodgy, stovebolt reputation with a new car that was utterly unlike its staid 1954 offering.
It was as if Pat Bonne had become Elvis Presley overnight.
Chevrolet managed to maintain the momentum for the next two years, beautifying and refining its winner in 1956 and giving it a strong makeover in 1957.
With a host of options all three years and a variety of engines to choose from, the '55 to '57 Chevy could play any role the buyer desired, from basic transport to drag strip terror.
Chevrolet's Hot Ones 1955-1956-1957 examines the history and legend surrounding what have become three of the most beloved years in Chevorlet's history.
With 175 images including black and white factory photos, ads, and stunning photography, this is a beautiful book for all fans of the classic Tri-Chevys.
