1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Nomad

Maybe that's a typo and it is supposed to read $150? Or $15?

Oh, it's $1,500 all right.
This guy has had a continuous ad running in CL for at least 2 years on this thing, without budging on his price at all.......

A real gem, for sure.

Any time I'm doing CL wagon searches, that one always seems to pop up, and I go "Not again......" It wasn't even interesting enough for me to put it up here the first time I saw it.

 

I like the windshield.

 

NoMad??

Why do they call it a NoMad?? There is a '59 4 door in Phx CL that is also listed as Nomad and they said 59 NoMads were 4 door???

Hers the link to it...

More curious than anything else....I know the old NoMads were hardtop 2 doors that I have seen (55, 56 and 57)...

 

The 'Nomad' name (not actually 'NoMad') that started on the special 2-door wagon body style for Chevy in '55 - '57 was switched to a regular 4-door wagon body style for 1958. (The special 2-door body style apparently didn't sell well enough for Chevy to spend money on a retooling for the significantly restyled '58's.) So, for the next few years, the 'Nomad' was the name of the top-of-the-line 4-door Chevy wagon. I believe in the 1962 model year Chevy, instead of calling their big wagons 'Brookwood', 'Parkwood' and 'Nomad', renamed them to match the model names of the regular car lines - 'Brookwood wagon' became 'Biscayne wagon'; 'Nomad wagon' became 'Impala wagon'.......

The 'Nomad' name was then brought back as a model name for the low-line Chevelle wagon in 1968. So it wasn't the most-deluxe wagon anymore - it was the cheapest.

Thanks for the info...

 

I'm suprised it's on Alb, NM CL. He's all the way over here 75 miles from Tucson.........and hasn't sold it locally.........wonder why?

 

"Needs work" is definitely a phrase to apply. Maybe a parts source car perhaps. After two years on CL I would think you could make a low ball offer.

 

At least it hasn't been sent off to a crusher.
