    LOVE this one! About 99% original, and in pretty good shape. Even wears the license plate frame of a local Chevy dealer near to where I lived in the early to mid 60's...... I think it was Hansen Chevrolet's back lot where I first spotted a new 1967 Camaro.

    It sure is a beauty.

    Write-up states: "Additional equipment includes Bel Air trim"

    Bel-Air trim was standard on a Nomad.

    Yup. The '55 - '57 Nomads weren't 'base model' vehicles. All were trimmed as Bel Airs.

    We've all seen a few ads for 'regular' '55 - '57 2-door Chevy wagons where the sellers throw in the 'Nomad' name somewhere. Hopefully all the prospective buyers are savvy enough to know a 'Not A Nomad'.......

    Wowzer. But you couldn’t do a rust bucket restoration for that. I always had a friend that was in the restoration business tell me. Find what you like, bite the bullet and buy the best example you can find. In the long run your money ahead. Think this buyer will have a lot of immediate enjoyment out of this car.
