Vehicle Description
Don't call it a wagon, because after all, the 1957 Chevrolet Nomad
is one of the coolest grocery-getters of all time. This American
icon only gets better with an upgraded small block V8, overdrive
transmission, A/C interior, and a slick two-tone presentation
against a ton of chrome.
The appeal of this Nomad is as clear as black and
white...literally. The trim tag tells us this was born with the
ultra-desirable Onyx Black and India Ivory two-tone. But it has
been updated later in life with a modern clearcoat application and
a professional hand applying it. So you have a luster that loves to
show off the iconic curves every time the sunshine finds the
sheetmetal. We especially like the way the brightwork looks. The
'57 has a ton of icons. The big front end with the bumper and
grille combo, dual rocket-like hood ornaments, golden Chevrolet
emblems on this VC-code car, the full-length sweeping side trim
with exclusive fan-style rear, and the Nomad's bright vertical
slats over the hatch. They all have the kind of beautiful shine you
want to go with the car's full bright attitude. And if you get up
close, there's just a hint of patina that lets the classic cat
folks know you have a true classic machine. Quality body lines,
well-fitting doors, and pliable window rubber all drive home the
feeling of Nomad that has been treated with the respect a rarity
like this deserves.
The black returns inside, and now it's joined by a vivid red. The
upholstery looks great with the classic textured fabric and
button-top finish. It's joined by quality pieces on the loop
carpeting, smooth dash, and seat-matching door panels for a quality
look and feel. And this one really is a detail-oriented package,
right down to the working dome light and clock. The rear section
looks good with a rubber mat that makes it easy to use the rear for
practical purposes. And the split rear hatch this is the classic
that you'll love tailgating everywhere from car shows to sporting
events. That's also why this one was built so that you can enjoy
the drive better. You have well-integrated upgrades, like an AM/FM
digital tuner w/cassette and cold-blowing modern R134a air
conditioning.
We always like seeing small block power under the hood of a
Tri-Five Chevy, because after all, these were the cars that
introduced us to this versatile powerhouse. But keeping with this
Nomad's theme of improvements, you now have a fresher and powerful
350 cubic-inch crate V8 under the hood. It's built with the right
pieces, including a Holley four-barrel carburetor, aluminum intake,
PerTronix Flame Thrower ignition, and a large electric pusher fan.
It's a strong and versatile motor especially when paired with a
four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive.
Add in power steering, power brakes, front discs, and BF Goodrich
T/As on iconic Cragar SS wheels, and this is Nomad has been
upgraded to be an all-around driver.
This is the '57 Nomad that already has the right investments for
speed, comfort, and style. It makes for a terrific driving classic
that you need to get your hands on right now. Call today!!!
