This 1957 Chevy Nomad, a true California car.  This is in better condition than the ones currently listed on Ebay that need to be restored.  The Nomad was originally built Los Angles, Ca and has spent most of it's life in a barn in Fresno, Ca.  A pretty good climate area for cars, unlike the East Coast.  I will do my best to describe the car and please feel free to ask any questions or please call me at anytime if you want to see or drive the Nomad.  I had purchased this Nomad to drive it as a rat rod or just leave it in this unique patina look, however she is craving to be restored and I just don't have the money to restore this car the way she deserves to be restored.    


The engine is a running 283 motor with an exhaust system under the car and it sounds pretty good.  It does have a 4 speed transmission with a Fenton Shifter.  

The interior is intact, however it will need complete upholstery.  The front seats, the rear seats and the headliner is still intact.  The headliner, the bottom of the rear seat and the door panels were possibly originally green and have a really cool embroidered floral design.  I believe the original interior could have been this unique dark green.  All of the molding and trim pieces for the interior are intact and will come with the car.  However, if will need to be restored.    

The body itself is in really good shape.  The only rust spot I could see in the car is a small quarter sized spot in the spare tire housing in the trunk. The driver side door will need some work or a new door skin however, it lines up nicely with the rest of the car.  The floors are in great shape as well as the rocker panels and fenders.  The roof lines look great and there is no rust on the roof either.  There is just some surface rust throughout the car, however nothing major.  I have all of the trim pieces, including the bumper bullets, front grill pieces, and every piece of trim that is needed.  The car will need four new tires.  Also all of the glass is in great shape.  The only glass that will need to be replaced will be the rear slider flat glass on the passenger side and the driver side door flat glass.  Otherwise the rest of the glass including the windshield and rear glass is very clean and not aged.  

The tailgate and rear glass opens very smoothly and locks in three different positions.  The curved glass is also in great shape.  

You can drive the car as it is or completely restore it.  The car does come with a clean pink slip with no back fees and two black California plates.  The car has not been registered in a long time and is no longer in DMV systems.  Also, I do have the car listed locally for sale and I do reserve the right to end the auction if the car sells sooner.  However, please feel free to call me at 916-262-6971 at anytime.  I would like to get you all of the information before you buy.

GM adds 1,200 jobs at Detroit-Hamtramck plant

Thu, Oct 22 2015

General Motors is making a big move at its Hamtramck, MI, factory, announcing it will add a second shift and hire over 1,200 workers within the next several months. It's expected that by early 2016, the factory will employ over 2,800 workers to build the Chevrolet Volt, Impala, Malibu, Cadillac ELR, and by early next year, the new CT6. According to GM Hamtramck spokesperson Courtney Zemke, 40 of the 1,200 positions are for salaried employees, while the remainder will be hourly positions. As for where these employees will go, positions are being made available across the factory, so GM isn't focusing on any particular area for its new hires. It's a similar story behind the hiring surge itself. GM said in its press release that the "second shift is necessary to meet forecasted market demand," a position Zemke reiterated. It's a matter of demand across the plant's portfolio, rather than any one particular product seriously outstripping supply. Naturally, the United Auto Workers is happy with the move. "The workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck is second to none," UAW Local 22 Shop Chairman Don LaForest said in the attached release. "We appreciate the opportunity to expand our UAW-GM family." Hiring is going on now, with the second shift slated to get underway in early 2016. GM's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly to Add Second Shift and More Than 1,200 Jobs Plant will nearly double its workforce by early 2016 2015-10-22 DETROIT – General Motors is nearly doubling its workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly by adding a second shift and more than 1,200 hourly and salaried jobs. The addition of a second shift will increase the plant's workforce to approximately 2,800 people when hiring is completed. The second shift is necessary to meet forecasted market demand for the five cars produced at Detroit-Hamtramck. "This is the result of the award-winning vehicles Detroit-Hamtramck produces and the confidence GM has in our team to build world-class quality for our customers," said Plant Manager Gary West. Second shift hiring is underway, and the shift is scheduled to begin operations in early 2016. "The workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck is second to none," said UAW Local 22 Shop Chairman Don LaForest. "We appreciate the opportunity to expand our UAW-GM family." The 4.1 million-square-foot Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly opened in 1985. GM has invested $1 billion in the plant over the last six years, making it one of the company's most-agile manufacturing facilities in North America.
