1955 Chevrolet Nomad

Here at Gateway Classic Cars of Houston we have this very beautiful restored 1955 Chevrolet Nomad. If you have never owned a Nomad before I will give you a little history lesson on these wonderful cars. 1955 was the year when these first started being parked in front of the Chevrolet dealership and being advertised as a 2 door station wagon. The Nomad was very well known in its 55-57 form. It was first introduced as a concept at the 1954 Gm Motorama show; they figured it would sell a lot more if it had many similarities as the Bel Air. As a matter of fact it wasn’t uncommon to be called the “Bel Air Nomad”. These cars had a lot of the same trim as the Bel Airs with the front end being almost identical, spears on the fenders, chrome window moldings and wheel covers. They came packed with an overhead valve, high compression, short stroked 265 4.3 CID V8 which actually remained in production in various forms because of its performance. But this Nomad isn’t packing a 265 carbureted engine, no, no, this thing is packing a Modern LT1 fuel injected turnkey and go engine! The LT1 has 4000 miles since rebuild and is mated to an automatic transmission which makes a great cruiser. This car has so many upgrades like the Vintage A/C system, Cd Player, Power brakes with 4 wheel disc, Power steering, Tilt wheel, restored Leather seats, Radial tires, aluminum wheels, Dakota Digital dash, electric fans and a cut- off in the glove box. The undercarriage of the car is in very great condition as well as the interior. This car has been kept in a garage and covered to maintain its beauty. This 1955 Chevrolet Nomad could be yours today!
