This 1955 Chevrolet Nomad showcases why it became an instant classic. Chevrolet's designers created a two-door sport wagon that merged utility with high style. The red and white two-tone paint job highlights this Nomad's distinctive profile, from its forward-raked B-pillars to the wraparound rear glass. Chrome accents emphasize the flowing lines, while the front end sports a wide grille and hooded headlights. This Nomad rides on 15-inch Rally wheels with 215/65R15 tires up front and meatier 225/70R15 rubber in the rear, giving it a purposeful stance. Custom blue dot tail lights and a replaced hood ornament add subtle custom touches while maintaining the classic look.
Inside, the Nomad offers a blend of comfort and style. Black and gray cloth upholstery covers the split-bench seats, creating an inviting cabin. A removable center console adds practicality to the bench seat setup. Modern white-faced gauges replace the originals, offering improved readability without sacrificing the vintage feel. The AM/FM/AUX stereo system provides modern audio capabilities. The upholstered rear area showcases attention to detail throughout the interior, making this Nomad as comfortable as it is stylish.
Lifting the hood reveals a 350 cubic inch V8 powerplant with AFR aluminum heads and a high-rise aluminum intake topped with a Brawler 4-barrel carburetor. Headman headers funnel the exhaust through a growling dual system with FlowMaster mufflers. A stout TH400 3-speed auto handles the gear swaps. When it's time to rein in the horses, front power discs bring this beast to a halt. The suspension's dialed in with control arms and coil springs leading the charge, while leaf springs and traction bars keep the rear planted.
