Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
Love those old dealership pics!
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. |

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
I don't have info but saw one pop up in another thread somewhere once, or maybe on Facebook. I have a couple modern pics of ones I saw at car shows.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
Maybe it was a concept design? Or a few home conversions. I don't think it made production, but not really sure on that either.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
It was known as the Waldorf Corvette, being displayed at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel for the GM Motorama. There are many hits on a Google search including this Youtube post:
And here's one more:

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
That's a cool looking wagon....certainly a corvette type design. Kinda looks a bit like a Nomad lookin' rear end.
I'd like to know more. It appears like GM thought about makin a wagon on the Vette platform....and then decided to go with the Corvair wagon......maybe....? BTW: Thanks Mark.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
I remember a family vacation to Gatlinburg TN back in the late 60's and there was a Gas war going on and gas was 19.9 for Regular… of course a new car was under $4000...

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.
Judging buy this photo of what I'm guessing are the prototypes for the 54 Corvettes there could have a wagon and a fastback. That would have been so cool.

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!

Fellow forum member "Strodder" (aka Dennis) said it's a kit that copies the Nomad concept.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
The Corvettes are factory GM show cars, produced for the Autorama shows. Lots of info out there on google.

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.
