Description[]
The Boss Hoss '57 Chevy Trike is a custom "extraordinarily large displacement" motorized tricycle produced by Boss Hoss Cycles since approximately 2000. It is essentially a customized motorized tricycle with a rear portion and seat fashioned in the shape of a trunk of a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air. The latest iteration of the '57 Chevy Trike is powered by a number of different V8 engines, from an LS3 to a 454 ci (7.4L) V8, mated to a 6-speed semi-automatic transmission.
The casting is not to be confused with the Boss Hoss Spoilers casting from 1970. The base of the casting reads Boss Hoss Cycles. The casting was retooled twice; once in 2011 to have a plastic base and radiator fan and once in 2014 to have a plastic body and seat. The base of the plastic bodied casting reads Boss Hoss Cycle.
