I loved that car, he promised to give it to me when I was 16 yeah right.lol Somebody came a long with a Rivera he wanted so they traded. Thats okay he did give me a 66 GTO and a couple of other cars through the years.

Nice! funny to think about the value comparison between a Rivera and a Nomad nowadays...
In all honesty though, the only appeal to a Nomad to me is the value, and collectible standpoint, I think the 2-door hardtops and posts look way nicer... that being said I would be lying if I said I never sat down and tried to figure out how I could afford a Nomad, I also would love a Safari.

Any more pics of your 55'?
