Vehicle Description
Don't call it a wagon, because after all, the 1955 Chevrolet Nomad
is one of the coolest grocery-getters of all time. This American
icon only gets better with the right investments like bright paint,
an upgraded small block, and four-on-the-floor.
There is absolutely no better way to show off the rare and
desirable Nomad body than in the bold two-tone dominated by the
bright red lower section. Even better is this stellar presentation
being an update to the factory-correct colors. Everyone loves
seeing the iconic raked rear hatch and wraparound glass that made
for one of the most prolific icons of the 1950s. These were the
top-of-the-line Chevys that ran with the Bel Airs, and these came
with a lot of intricate brightwork. Thankfully all of these hard to
source pieces are complete on this one - everything from to the
'55-only grille, to the bright slats protecting the split rear
hatch. But, you can instantly see this one goes well beyond factory
specs. The modern Ridler wheels are a nice upgrade that looks great
with all the chrome, and the large 18-inch size combined with the
low profile tires to give it quite a sporty stance.
Inside, this one does a fine job of integrating some nice upgrades
into the classic style. For example, the seats and door panels
still follow the factory pattern that has a hint of tuck-n-roll.
But now they have comfortable cloth inserts to makes this a more
ideal cruiser. As you slip behind the red and chrome steering
wheel, you're reminded of what makes these Bel Air Nomads so
special. After all, that dual cowl dash instantly gives this a
Corvette-level appeal. And this one is complete right down to the
full brightwork package and the AM radio that's still on display.
But the Hurst shifter on the floor also reminds you that this is a
driver's machine.
The V8 looks great in the engine bay with the bold orange block
radiating from within the darkness. And there's plenty of added
shine on elements like the air topper, valve covers, and
alternator. But more than just a nice presentation, you've got a
solid upgrade in displacement with the 350 cubic-inch small block.
Plus, it has been further upgraded to deliver better power and
usability with features like the Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor,
aluminum radiator, electric fuel pump, and Optima red top battery.
You'll love how it fires up readily and gives a nice rumble from
the dual exhaust. Plus, you have full control over this V8 power
and its soundtrack thanks to the Muncie M20 four-speed manual
transmission. And because you're going to want to show this one off
everywhere, upgrades like power steering, front disc brakes, and
the grip of modern ZR-rated tires really make this Nomad a great
traveler.
Power, poise, and a solid presentation - this icon is such a
thorough build that you know this is a rare opportunity at
something very special. Call today!!!
