Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

The Corvettes are factory GM show cars, produced for the Autorama shows. Lots of info out there on google.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

Thanks guys for the info.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

Thanks for posting these old pics - it's my favorite thread on the forum.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

Here's one off of Facebook off of powerglide magazine. Old 61 behind the totaled Lemans.

'54 Nomad concept, you can get a new one if you want to empty your 401(k)

They used to have a dedicated site, but must've taken it down. Poke around the internet and you can see some that people have made themselves, I've seen that one in Spokane at a car show, but I didn't talk to the owner enough to find out how he built it.

Just to add a little more info, the '54 "Corvette Nomad" was a concept car that led to the developement of the '55 Bel-Air Nomad that continued on till '57. In '58 the name "Nomad" was continued on, but it was no longer a special body design like the '55 to '57 Nomad was. The name actually continued on till '61 in the Full Size Chevy Wagon.

The '54 Corvette Nomad was a one-of car and, as history tells it, was destroyed by GM in 1958 for unknown reasons.

Any '54 Corvette Nomad that you see today is a reproduction.

Found this one. I see on the extreme right someone saw the light and traded in his F**D in on a GMC! Like that 60-61 GMC behind the F**d too.

A Trade-In of course!

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

Very cool pick of the dually

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

The last two aren't of our era but are neat especially the gmc carry - all and a spartan series in production.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

Some nice additions. The Spartan production pic goes along with the other late 57-early 58 production pics I posted awhile back.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

I know this not of our era of trucks but the simplistic nature of a Chevrolet on a farm like such is a piece of art. Figured it was worth sharing.

Too bad is just a photo, where is the real one? Its a shame not enough of these trucks are restored back to factory appearance.

i think when folks see more "company" ads ot will spark interest, i like the twotone bed. not a fleetside owner, but i would rock that

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

yeah the two tone beds look great. A 60or 61 GMC either truck or 'Burban is next on my project list. If truck then yeah I'm doing the two tone bed
