Buyer’s notes
About the Chevrolet Nomad
The Nomad was the stylish wagon of Chevrolet’s 1955 Bel Air range, based on a Corvette-derived show car and recognisable by its slanted rear pillars. It arrived with Chevrolet’s new 265 V8.
What moves the price
- Engine and options: the V8 and period power options add to a car that has them.
- Originality versus restomod: modernised cars sell to a different buyer.
- Condition and the quality of any restoration.
Before you buy, check
- Corrosion in the floors, rear quarters and the tailgate area.
- The chrome and the Nomad-specific trim, which is costly to replace.
- The engine and chassis numbers against the claimed specification.
