Street Spotting

A bunch of this is going to be repeats, but for the sake of going through them just in case I missed a few...

I spotted this Roadmaster in Brockway, Pennsylvania on June 30, 2023.



It's a bit funny, though: Brockway and within a 20 mile radius seems to be a bit of a hot spot for street spotting Wagons. I saw this 94 - 96 Roadmaster at a gas station in Brookville in October 2019:



There's this 93 Roadmaster in Brookville, too:



I saw this 1988 Caprice in Brockway in Mid 2020, and a bit earlier, too:



I saw the same car later, May or June 2021:




There was this 1987ish Ford in DuBois, August 26 2020:



Another Ford in DuBois, July 17 2021 (I drove towards the main road just in time to see and drive behind this one.)



Here's a Volvo that I saw in Brockway or Ridgway, the same day that I saw that 88 Blue Caprice.



Another smaller wagon, same day and in Ridgway:



Still the same day, also Ridgway, at a car parts store parking lot:



DuBois, PA - a more recent Volvo:



Lastly, these:

1 - There was a 1988 Caprice Classic in Red that I saw in Ridgway at some time from 2015 - 2018. I didn't have a camera then.
2 - A 1984 - 1987 Caprice (if I recall right) in a back street in Reynoldsville. Not in very good shape.
3 - An 80s G.M. parts car without windows that was sitting in the trees north of the road between Brookville and Dubois.

 

I think I ran out of space in the previous reply. Here's that 88 Caprice again, in Brockway.



91 - 96 Caprice seen on McKnight Road near Cranberry TWP. or Wexford, Feb 3 2020.







Feb 6 2020, I found this poor one.



March 6 2020, a Ford that I've seen going around.

 

Doghead, what is the car above? I like it very much. Wish it was mine.

 

That is a '58 Chevy Nomad that they never built. That car is a custom build. An original '58 Nomad is a 4-Door car. They did a good job on it and too bad Chevy never made one like it. Now the '55 to '57 Nomads were 2-Door cars, but '58 to '61 Nomads were 4-Door cars.

 

I agree that they did a fabulous job. I wish chivy would have done this in 58, but it's pretty awesome to see a car so many people have imagined a reality.

 

And this is the cheapest version of the ‘58 line of wagons.

 

South St. Louis today.

 

I always wanted to bolt on my Nomad parts onto a 2-Dr Wagon like yours. It wouldn't be as fancy as the '58 above, but at least it would be all GM parts. My first car was a '58 Nomad with a 348, 3-Speed.

 

I have accumulated some Nomad parts along the way but have decided to keep her clean and simple.
It is mostly original except for new rods, pistons, rings etc. but the drivetrain is original to the car.
Aftermarket parts include the aluminum wheels, radiator, alternator, Monroe Max air shocks and Indy 3 spd floor shifter.
Still thinking about the Impala scoops below the rear quarter glass tho when I start the bodywork.

Here’s another of those conversions in gold.

 

That's only because I had a Nomad. If I had a Del-Ray like yours, I would be keeping the body all original as well.

Although I appreciate the craftsmanship, that Gold '58 doesn't look right to me with the 3 Impala Tail Lights. It also looks like the Tail Gate no longer opens.

 

Moons? On a Toyota pickup?

I can run faster than that truck!
