Chevrolet NOMAD

The Chevrolet NOMAD was in fact a Chevrolet station-wagon (family) with two doors. The model lasted only three years. When project NOMAD was filed in at General Motors, it bore the name of Corvette NOMAD.

Indeed, of the engineers had deposited a roof of station-wagon on a Corvette. The idea so much was well accommodated by the public which the concept was put in production. The model made its beginnings in 1955 and has disappeared in 1957. The two doors did not help much for accessibility. Name NOMAD was used only on the Chevrolet Bel Air. On the series Two-Ten (average of range) and One-Fifty (bottom-of-the-range), one used the name Handyman. All the back of the car, except for the door, was glazed and touts the windows were sliding. It is very rare but is worth only crumbs today.

In 1955, it was sold of them 8.386,7 886 in 1956 and 6.103 in 1957. It was worth 2.560 $ at the time, that is to say 265 $ of more than one convertible with mechanics and equal options. A Bel Air NOMAD in perfect state is worth approximately 34.000 $ Canadian (21 300 € approximately) that is to say less than half of convertible. Nomads are very rare because of their high price, of their weak diffusion and owing to the fact that the majorities of these cars were transformed into hots-rods.

It was also sold a Pontiac version of NOMAD, the Safari, which even rarer than NOMAD. It is however not more expensive.
