Vehicle Description
1955 Chevrolet Nomad Custom
Every once in a while you come across a car that just stands out.
Something about it says, "you won't see another one like me." Well
this 1955 Nomad is one of those. It is flawless. We have all seen
pro touring Camaros but a custom Pro Touring Nomad! Now that's
something special. Not only do get a Nomad which in its own right
is extremely sought after and valuable but you get the nicest one
around. There is no way to determine how many dollars and hours
have put into the car but it is one those where you can tell a lot
of blood, sweat and tears went into its construction. The car is
truly like no other Nomad you have ever seen. The body is extremely
straight and is coated in some of the most beautiful House of Kolor
Candy Apple paint ever laid down. It is very slick and the pearl
shines beautifully out in the sun. It is paired with a Silver top
which really works well as a color combination. The chrome, trim,
grill, everything is nice. You won't find a weak area anywhere on
the car. The original style taillights are in place but the left
taillight has been customized to reveal the gas cap like you would
see in a 56 Chevy. But thats not all, you can't just flip the light
out of the way! It now smoothly slides out of place with just a
flip of a switch under the dash. Little components like that show
how much detail went into this car. No single component or feature
was untouched. Back in 55 I doubt people were commenting on how
"tough" their parents station wagon looks but this car is here to
change all that. With the perfect stance it sits on custom Billet
Specialties wheels and looks fast even sitting still.
Expecting to see a 350 under the hood? Well not even an LS1 is good
enough for this custom. It is now powered by a built up LS7 motor
like what they are using in Z06's and even the C6 Corvette American
Le Mans series race car. Can you imagine the look on the Z06 owners
face when you show him that new vette has nothing on this Nomad? In
addition to performing extremely well the engine is dressed out
very nicely and all show ready. If it isn't chromed or polished
under the hood then it is painted to match the body with the same
high quality level of paint work. Chrome hinges, custom firewall,
and a custom engine cover are just 3 of the 100s of items were
mentioning. A lot of people look at a car like this and think it's
a trailer queen but that is not the case. This car was built to
take home all the trophies and perform well on the drive there. It
has 14 inch Baer disk brakes up front with big Buick drum brakes in
rear. The body sits on an Art Morrison chassis which if you know
old cars know is the best money could buy. Paired with the motor is
a 4L70E Pheonix transmission which sends power back through the
aluminum drive shaft into the rear end. Other nice components
include the Strange 2 inch axles, Concept 1 pulley system, and a
fully custom ceramic coated dual exhaust system.
The fun doesn't stop with the interior because it is just as
amazing as the rest. This is the type of custom you can take out
and return with best paint, best interior, best motor, and wildest
custom. They don't make awards that this car couldn't win. The two
tone Grey leather interior is beautifully done and is all custom by
Paul Atkins who is renowned for is unmatchable interior work. It
has dual bucket seats up front with a custom built center console.
Another example of the extreme detail is the power seat operation.
Fold forward the back and hit a button to slide the seat forward so
your rear passengers can enter. Fold it back and hit the same
button and the seat moves back in place. Little comforts like that
go to show how well each part of this car was thought out. The
seats are out of a GTO and have been customized from stock.
Possibly one of the coolest features you will find lining the dash
is the all custom push button transmission controls. A combination
of Billet and LED back lit buttons create the coolest transmission
shifter out there. Custom gauges, AM/FM/CD/Nav, tilt column, custom
steering wheel, AC/Heat, power windows, you name it....its got it!
Taking it a step further the car doesn't just have these features
but has the highest quality version of each feature available. For
example the Vintage AC system rivals that of your brand new
Cadillac and even has climate control.
The number of modifications and highlights on this car is far above
most customs you see out there. We truly couldn't begin to describe
everything that is worthy of being mentioned. One look at this car
in person and you will see what we mean. It comes with receipts
documenting all of the components used and work done.
