Vehicle Description
In 2003, to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Corvette, a group
of automotive engineers in Michigan designed a way to pay tribute
to the Corvette legacy by blending the 50's styling with cutting
edge C5 technology. In 1954, as part of their Motorama line up, GM
displayed special prototype Corvettes, with the only Corvette Wagon
referred to as the "Waldorf Nomad," which was later used as the
Chevy Nomad Wagon. This custom Corvette wagon was built from a 2004
coupe and a glass hatchback was added with no modification to the
existing seal surfaces. It features custom steel side exhaust,
seven chrome vertical strips on the rear fascia, functional rear
hatch lid with added cargo space and hash marks on the roof panel.
The new retro designed package includes a new front fascia,
headlights, chrome die-cast grille and bumpers, hood, fenders, rear
quarter panels, and LED taillights, replacing the original parts.
Panels are bolted to the original attachment points. This custom
Corvette is powered by a 5.7-liter 8-cylinder engine mated to a
4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. It is also equipped
with red-painted brake calipers, custom Lipstick Red leather
interior, dual power seats with 2-position memory on the driver's
side, power windows, power locks, tilt and telescopic wheel, cruise
control, factory remote alarm, dual-zone air conditioning, and a
top-of-the-line BOSE AM/FM CD surround sound system in the dash and
a 10-disc CD changer mounted in the rear storage. It has the
optional heads-up display and Selectric ride control, custom
exhaust system and factory chrome Corvette wheels.
