Details

This immaculate example of a 1955 Chevrolet Nomad has undergone a full body-off restoration to original specifications. A numbers matching, rust-free California car which has been in storage for 30 years. The car underwent a complete driveline and mechanical rebuild. It has a 265cid/180hp 4-barrel Power Pack engine with a Powerglide transmission and all new power brake system. The exterior was stripped and refinished in original Regal Turquoise and India Ivory paint. All chrome was newly plated, rubber replaced and stainless restored like new. The interior has white with turquoise waffle pattern upholstery and panels. The car has turquoise carpet throughout with turquoise linoleum covering the cargo area as original with all stainless trim polished and chrome trim newly plated. A host of factory and dealer options include Power Pack V8, power steering, power brakes, power front seat, power windows, five white wall tires, bumper guards, spot light mirror, tissue dispenser and more. This is the first time the car has been shown. The only miles on the car since restoration are test miles. There are actually very few of the 8,386 Nomads produced in 1955 that are restored to original condition as they came from the factory. This is one of the best examples.
