This 1955 Chevrolet Nomad Restomod is an outstanding take on one of the most beloved classics of the 1950s. Thoroughly restored and in top form, it combines all the vintage aesthetic appeal a classic could offer with a host of mechanical upgrades to vastly improve its driving experience. If you like your curb appeal with plenty of real-world functionality, youll definitely want to take a closer look at this one. Its such an evocative classic.
This Nomad features a number of modern upgrades to provide a driving experience well out of reach of most classics from this era. A 327 cu in 300HP V8 takes the place of the original engine in a very clean compartment whose inner fenders and firewall have been color matched to the exterior. It sits surrounded by an array of polished, top-tier components and has been armed with a cold air intake system and aftermarket headers to amp up its output. The engine teams with a 700R4 automatic transmission thats shifting in top form, and a generously proportioned radiator and electric fan have been added in front to keep temperatures down in more demanding driving conditions.
Chevrolets were sparse off the line. In addition, this 1953 Chevrolet Nomad Restomod classic is no longer fuel-efficient. However, open the car’s doors to reveal a fully customized cockpit.
In front of those seats, a leather-wrapped dash surrounds a vintage radio, Vintage Air conditioning controls, and Classic Instruments telemetry. At the sides of that dash, custom door panels hang billet handles in front of convenient power windows. And in front of the driver, a leather-wrapped steering wheel laps a tilting Flaming River column.
One striking difference between a shooting brake and a regular wagon is that the former comes in two-door formats. The Chevy Nomad stood out from other American wagons of the era thanks to its two-door design and unique styling closer to a hardtop than a standard station wagon.
The Nomad quickly earned the nickname “The Hot One” and is subject to some rad hot rod, street rod, and restomod projects like this 1953 Chevrolet Nomad Custom Restomod.
