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.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

There's one of those Corvette/Nomad wagons here in town. I don't know anything about it other than it has been driven a lot and it shows the miles.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

Wow I love the photos showing "old trucks" keeping up in "modern traffic"! Back in a time when it was easy to identify every vehicle in the photos.

With the new jelly bean shaped cars I need to read the nameplate to know who made them!

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

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.

It's our truck's grandfather.
Surely worthy of this thread.
