Chevy ‘NOMAD’ SKETCH

1957 Chevy Nomad by SJCooksey - snapped at the 2023 Ventura Nationals. This wagon is more than just a car; it's a rolling piece of art. I've always been captivated by the wagon silhouette – for me, it's the ultimate in automotive elegance, even more so than a coupe.

Fun Facts to Impress Your Friends:

* Luxury Wagon: The Nomad was initially envisioned as a premium, upscale wagon, reflected in its unique styling and higher price point.

* Hidden Tailgate: The rear tailgate was a two-piece design, with the lower section folding down and the upper glass section lifting up, a feature that was quite innovative for its time.

* Short Production Run: 1957 was the last year for the Nomad as a distinct model within the Bel Air line. It only lasted from 1955 to 1957. Making it a highly sought after vehicle by collectors.

* Engine Power: The '57 could be equipped with the legendary 283 cubic inch "Super Turbo-Fire" V8, a powerhouse that helped solidify Chevy's performance reputation.
