This 1957 Chevrolet Nomad is for sale in our Louisville KY
showroom. The two door Nomad took a completely different approach
to a station wagon than many of the era. With its styling cues
being basically that of a 2 door hardtop the Nomad would enjoy the
same success as the tri fives that it was based off of. Much like
the 2 door hardtop models the Nomad is one of the coolest platforms
to resto mod. This 57 has been built to enjoy and drive on a daily
basis while taking it to high level car shows on the weekend. After
a long and well thought out 5 year build the transformation was
complete. The body was taken off the original frame and taken down
to bare metal before being placed on a powder coated custom frame.
The cooper gold paint is slick and looks great while keeping with
that classic 57 look. Using C4 corvette suspension the ride is
sporty with the Bilstein shocks handling anything you can throw at
it. The rack and pinion steering is crisp and light feeling with
the custom wheels adding to the look and feel. With 4 wheel disc
brakes bringing everything to halt in a hurry. Under the hood is
all business with a fuel Injected Ram Jet 502 filling up the engine
bay perfectly. Outfitted with Sanderson headers the exhaust note
lets everyone know that there is no small block under that hood.
Keeping everything at the right temp is an all-aluminum Be Cool
Radiator that looks as good as it works. The 4l80e transmission
routes the power to a Dana 44 rear end which has a set of 3.45's in
it making this a well suited highway hauler. The interior is a mix
of classic and new with the painted dash filled with a set of
custom gauges look great while being super functional. The white
and black bench seat is period correct with the matching door
panels tying it all together. Of course, the power windows are
always nice especially when it gets a little too hot and the AC
needs to be kicked on. Options on this 1957 Chevrolet Nomad include
AC, AM/FM, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Windows, Tilt Wheel,
and Aluminum Wheels wrapped in Radial Tires. To view this 1957
