The 1955 Chevy Bel Air Nomad Station Wagon was seen as a very “futuristic” concept car based on the flashy styling of the 1953 Corvette. A “Sport Wagon” that was practical for busy families but had the rakish upscale hot looks of the popular Corvette. Many car buffs have transformed the vision to modern day upgrading in suspensions, engines, paint and interiors. And this 55 BA Nomad has its own delightful tricks and trims as well. Start with a frame off rust free survivor the frame was blasted and then painted factory type black with new heavy duty red oxide. Then professionally prepped and painted with unforgiving new black base coat clear coat that shines beautifully. Premium Quality Leather black seats, door panels and trim with all new ribbed headliner with new polished chrome ribs. Finished out with a billet steering wheel, tilt column, Vintage Air, Classic Industries gauges, and thick durable carpet. A total chromed out 350 engine with polished aluminum, stainless steel headers, new brake system, stainless steel cooling hoses, and aluminum radiator. Geared through a THM super duty 400 auto trans. The upgraded high tech custom suspension includes 2″ drop spindles, tubular A/arms, and all new CPP steering components. Equipped with power steering and 4 wheel disc brakes. This was one of a prized possession in a 175 car collection of one of the finest builders in the country. This vehicle is now for sale.
