1956 Chevrolet Nomad For Sale in Bellevue , 2146379077 Tweet

*1956 Chevrolet Nomad 2-Door Wagon*Built between 1955 and 1957 the Tri-Five Chevrolet Bel Airs are some of the most evocative American cars of all time and have long stood as a must-have car in any collection. Offered in multiple bodystyles including two and four door sedans the pillarless Sport Sedan convertible and one of the most unique - the Nomad two-door station wagon. In 1956 there were seven different models of Bel Air available with the Nomad being the most expensive and thus the rarest with just 7 886 units produced. As one of only a few two-door wagons ever produced by a manufacturer these cars have become quite sought-after and a great basis for hot rodding.This 1956 Chevrolet Nomad is finished in Tropical Turquoise with an India Ivory side stripe and tailgate lid. As a 1956 this can be identified by its full-length painted side stripe and full-width front grille. This example received a mild-resto-mod treatment keeping it largely standard visually but improving the driving experience underneath. Under previous ownership the car received a re-paint in its original colors which was carried out by someone who was an expert at paint and body. As you move around the car you notice exceptionally nice panel gaps on each panel and the large flat surfaces are laser straight on the entire vehicle. The chrome is believed to be original but still shines immaculately. This Nomad sits on a set of 17-inch 5-spoke Billet Specialties aluminum wheels wrapped in new radial tires which are placed in front of front power disc brakes with drums at the rear.Open the door and youre met by a fantastic turquoise interior with the dashboard paint-matched to the exterior along with the steering wheel and column. Additionally the front and rear bench seats are upholstered with a combination of turquoise vinyl and gray fabric. From the drivers seat you notice some subtle interior upgrades including an updated gauge cluster in the original shape with a speedometer tachometer temperature and fuel gauges all integrated while a classic looking head unit with modern internals sits to the right of it. Beneath that vents for the ice cold air conditioning and importantly if youre planning on bringing the family with you - seatbelts.Under the hood sits a 350 cubic inch TPI V8 with fuel injection which adds reliability and performance over the original V8. This engine is essentially stock save for a set of headers which lead to a true dual exhaust system that gives the car a fantastic sound. To ensure this car was a dependable driver an oversized aluminum radiator with overflow tank and a pair of electric cooling fans were fitted which keeps the car cool on even the hottest days. Power is sent through a 3-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels. Prior to sale this car was thoroughly serviced by Park Place Ltd. including a fluid service fresh spark plug wires a new battery some new polyurethane suspension bushings and a fresh alignment to ensure it drives as well as possible.Although Chevrolet continued using the Nomad name after 1957 the two-door wagon concept was largely gone making these three years extra special. One of the best looking wagons ever produced the Bel Air Nomad is the perfect cruise night car for the enthusiasts who wants to bring the whole family and all of their things in the back! This example with its well thought out light resto-mod build offers the perfect melding of performance comfort and dependability all wrapped up in a stunning looking package.*Key Features* * Laser Straight Body with Excellent Panel Gaps * Refinished in Original Color Combination of Tropical Turquoise over India Ivory * 350ci TPI V8 * Fuel Injection * Headers w/True Dual Exhaust * Aluminum Radiator w/Dual Electric Fans * Recent Servicing at Park Place Ltd. * 3-Speed Automatic Transmission * Modern Gauge Cluster * Smaller Diameter Steering Wheel * 17-Inch Billet Specialties Wheels * Black-wall Radial Tires * Air Conditioning * Front Power Disc Brakes * Power Windows * Power Steering * Reupholstered Bench Seating * SeatbeltsFor more information on this 1956 Chevrolet Nomad 2-Door Wagon or any of our 100+ High-Performance Exotic and Special Interest cars always in stock contact one of our friendly and knowledgeable sales consultants or always feel free to drop by our 40 000+ sq ft of Indoor Showrooms in Bellevue WA - Home of an Exciting Inventory of Luxury Exotic High Performance and Collectible Automobiles.
