For Sale: 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air in Mansfield, Texas

1955 Chevrolet Nomad Custom

The break through year of the iconic Tri-Five Chevy arrived in 1955 and was famously marketed as "The Hot One". It helped Chevrolet abandon its conservative image and cement themselves in classic car history. They had multiple trim levels with the Nomad being introduced as the "halo car" for Chevrolet, meaning they were a low production model with all the bells and whistles which was intended to draw people to the Chevrolet line. The nameplate was originally applied to a concept car in 1954 that actually resembled more a Corvette wagon than a Bel Air one. The Nomad has since become one of the most highly collectable tri-five cars on the market and of all body styles the most collectable throughout time has continued to be the Nomad and Convertibles. This beautiful 1955 Nomad Wagon is a real deal code "VC" V8 Nomad car that has been entirely redone in a custom restomod pro touring style. There are 1,705 miles on the odometer so it is a fresh build that still looks just completed. It is an extremely well done car that is painted in a gorgeous Black Cherry pearl that has a brilliant shine and can transform to a darker Black appearance outside of the sun. It is a very unique color that is truly eye catching wherever it goes. The chrome smoothy bumpers have a mirror like finish and are cleanly mounted in place. It also has a custom '54 Corvette grill which is a subtle but perfect modification. All of the stock style stainless trim is in place including the Nomad tailgate bars. The glass is in great condition throughout and is all tinted. The car has an excellent stance and rides on custom wheels with Nitto low profile tires.

Incorporating some modern Chevrolet performance is a Ccorvette LS3 that runs extremely well and offers all the power you could need. It is very cleanly laid out under the hood with a polished Spectre Performance cold air intake, chrome radiator support, aftermarket PRE Racing aluminum radiator (with electric fans), chrome AC compressor, and polished condenser. The car sounds very healthy through the custom dual exhaust that dumps out below the rear. The suspension, in both front and rear, are out of a C4 Corvette and it has disc brakes under all four corners. The transmission is a 4L60E automatic so every aspect of modern Corvette drivability has been packed into this very cool 50s classic. In addition to AC it also has luxuries like power steering and power brakes which make it drive wonderfully.

The interior is done in a beautiful deep Oxblood Red leather to match the exterior and is in excellent condition. The power adjustable bucket seats feature White stitching and are very comfortable. The door panels, rear bench, carpet, and headliner with stainless bars all look great. Between the bucket seats is a custom center console done in a two tone. It has additional storage, cupholders, a Lokar shifter, and chrome adjustable vents. The dash is all very nicely painted and features a combination of stock Chevy bowtie trim with aftermarket gauges. The tilt steering column is painted to match and topped with a 3 spoke Grant woodgrain steering wheel. Another nice feature includes the aftermarket power window system. Open the rear hatch and the area behind the rear seat offers plenty of storage space and is all very cleanly carpeted.

This is such a nice example of a '55 Nomad and the modifications were very tastefully done. It is show ready and is set up to drive/perform extremely well wherever you take it. These are highly collectable and a staple in any collection.

This beautiful car could be in your collection for $105,000.00!
