Proudly Presents this

1957 Chevrolet NOMAD

A Must Have for any serious Tri-Five Collector!

These Iconic Cars are getting harder and harder to find since there were fewer of these built out of any of the fabulous three year models and fewer built than the Iconic Corvette of the same year.

Production numbers are indeed extremely low.  Options and color breakdown lower them significantly not to mention finding them in this condition cared for all ts life.

This particular Nomad has an excellent past based on what we see and were able to verify.

• 283ci V8 with the optional and desirable Power-Pak
• Numbers Matching Original Driveline
• Low Miles Believed to be Original
• Frame Off Restoration Performed some time ago and was part of private Tri-Five Collection among other desirable same vintage Chevys.
• Excellent All Sheet Metal Car
• Correct and Extremely Clean 'Red Oxide Primed' Undercarriage
• Correct Exhaust Exits
• Correct Mostly Original (Born With) Interior.
• Excellent fit and finish throughout
• Beautiful Chrome and Stainless

Just to name a few...

Impressed so far?  We are!

One of the Coolest Cars ever built!  Either gracing the California Ocean Highways looking for that next wave sporting a few surf boards or hauling groceries this car is COOL!

The 283ci provides plenty of power backed by the tried and true Powerglide Transmission the Chevy runs Perfect! No rattles, squeaks, or smoke.

The body lines and sheet metal are dead on straight and smooth! Not a cheap restoration, the Nomad was obviously done right!

The tailgate still functions with the cable pulley system it was born with and it's flawless!

The steel wheels adorn the all so popular spinner caps and are wrapped in vintage Coker tires.

All the Glass is in great shape and you will notice that the windows work effortlessly as intended.

One look at the frame and undercarriage tells the ultimate story of how well detailed, preserved, and the overall quality of this Nomad.

Take in consideration that this full restoration to show quality was done quite some time ago and though the Nomad is beautiful it has a couple scratches and paint is beginning to show some age.  Still show quality and anyone would be proud to own such a car.  We would rate this Nomad a #2 Condition only due to age of restoration.

Chevrolet Nomad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chevrolet Nomad was a station wagon model made off and on from 1955 to 1972, and a Chevy Van trim package in the late 1970s and early 1980s, produced by the Chevrolet Division of General Motors. The Nomad is best remembered in its two-door 1955–57 form, and was considered a halo modelduring its three-year production as a two-door station wagon.

Pre production

The two-door Nomad differed from other station wagons of the era by having unique styling more reminiscent of a hardtop sedan than that of a standard station wagon. Chevrolet shared this body with its sister Pontiac, which marketed their version as the Pontiac Safari.

The Nomad's unique design had its roots in a General Motors Motorama show car of the same name that was based on the Corvette. The Concept was introduced at the GM Motorama in 1954 as one of Head Stylist Harley Earl's "dream cars".

GM approved production of the vehicle if the design could be transferred to its standard model, because top GM brass felt that they could sell more models if it were attached to the popular Bel Airmodel.

1955–1957

• 1955 Chevrolets received all-new styling. Advertised as "The Hot One," the boxy new Chevy was crisp, clean, and thoroughly modern-looking. Nomads, like Bel Airs, came loaded with interior carpet, chrome spears on front fenders, chrome window moldings, and full wheel covers. For 1955 Chevrolets gained a V8 engine option. The new 265 cubic inches (4,343 cc) cubic-inch V8 featured a modern, overhead valve high compression, short stroke design that was so good that it remained in production in various forms, for many decades. The base V8 had a two-barrel carburetor and was rated at 162 horsepower (121 kW), and the "Power Pack" option featured a four-barrel carburetor and other upgrades yielding 180 brake horsepower (130 kW). Later in the year, a "Super Power Pack" option added high-compression and a further 15 brake horsepower (11 kW). It had room for six passengers.

• 1956 Chevrolets received a face-lift. This gave Chevys a more conventional full-width grille, pleasing those customers who didn't like the Ferrari-inspired '55 front end. Nomads now carried the same interior and rear-wheel sheetmetal as other Bel Airs, lacking the original's unique trim. Shoulder harnesses, and a padded dashboard were now available. For 1956 Chevys hid the gas cap behind a left side, flip-down tail light.

• 1957 V-8 engine displacement grew to 283 cubic inches (4,638 cc) from 265 in 1957, with the "Super Turbo Fire V8" option producing 283 horsepower (211 kW) with the help of continuous fuel injection. These so-called "fuelie" cars are quite rare, since most Bel Airs were fitted with carburation. While considered to be a milestone vehicle design, General Motors discontinued the original Nomad Sport Wagon at the end of the 1957 model year due to low sales and the introduction of a new body for 1958.
