Our Detroit Showroom is proud to offer a very unique 1957 Chevrolet
Nomad! The two door Nomad took a completely different approach to a
station wagon than any other era. With its styling cues being
basically that of a 2 door hardtop, the Nomad would enjoy the same
success as the tri fives that it was based off of. Much like the 2
door hardtop models the Nomad is one of the coolest platforms to
restore. This �57 has been built to enjoy and drive on a daily
basis while taking it to high level car shows on the weekend. The
body was taken off the original frame and taken down to bare metal
before being placed on a powder coated frame. The Pastel Lavender
paint is slick and looks great while keeping with that classic �57
look. Using an upgraded suspension the ride is sporty and can
handle anything you throw at it. The rack and pinion steering is
crisp and light feeling with the custom wheels adding to the look
and handling. With front disc brakes bringing everything to halt in
a hurry, it gives you just enough confidence to drive this Nomad
like a Camaro. Under the hood is all business with a Chevrolet
Crate 502cid filling up the engine bay perfectly. The menacing
exhaust note lets everyone know that there is no small block under
that hood. Keeping everything at the right temp is an all-aluminum
Be Cool Radiator that looks as good as it works. The Turbo-400
transmission routes the power to the rear end which has a set of
3.08's in it making this a well suited highway hauler. The interior
is a mix of classic and new with the painted dash filled with a set
of custom digital gauges look great while being super functional.
The Tweed bucket seats with the matching door panels tying it all
together. Of course, the power windows are always nice especially
when it gets a little too hot and the AC needs to be kicked on.
Options on this 1957 Chevrolet Nomad include AC, AM/FM, Power
Steering, Power Brakes, Power Windows, Tilt Wheel, and Aluminum
Wheels wrapped in Radial Tires. To view this 1957 Chevrolet Nomad
