The Story Behind the Tri-Five Nationals

In this episode of Late Great Classics, Jon Ruhff sits down with Chris Sondles, founder of Woody's Hot Rodz and the Tri-Five Nationals, to discuss the incredible journey behind America's largest Tri-Five Chevy event. Chris shares how a simple idea became one of the biggest gatherings in the classic car world, the evolution of the Tri-Five hobby, building Woody's Hot Rods, and why the people—not just the cars—are what make this community so special. If you're a fan of 1955, 1956, and 1957 Chevrolets, you won't want to miss this conversation. Join us at the Tri-Five Nationals!
