The last of the four Tri-Five models, the Chevy 150, was the economy counterpart to the Bel Air. Like the 210, it was first developed in 1953 before being remodeled in 1955 for the Tri-Five years. Chevrolet was in the midst of numerous changes in the mid-50s. The 1957 150 was still very plain with a bright windshield surround and minimal interior and exterior trim, but finally offered an ash tray as standard equipment.
