The Chevy ‘Waldorf’ Nomad
The Chevy Nomad models were produced from 1955 to 1961 with a body style of a 2-door sport wagon or a 4-door station wagon. The 2-door model was ceased in Nomad form in 1957. The body styling was mutually matched with the Pontiac Safari. The Chevy ‘Waldorf’ Nomad is packed with "Blue Flame" V6, or an optional "Turbo-Thrust" V8 (250 horsepower) engine Turboglide drivetrain affixed on it.
So where have all the Chevy Nomads gone? Nomads were mainly sold in the United States, where some of them can still be spotted on U.S. highways. Less than 8,000 were produced each year on average. But having a reputation as a great wagon, they are so rare and you’ll be having a hard time looking for one if you dare try.
So how much are these Nomads? Project-condition models usually sell for $10,000 to $13,000. Complete refurbishments, depending on the scarcity of the model options, may put up for sale for over $60,000! It’s a pretty expensive for a Nomad, huh?
Description and History:
From 1955 to 1957, Nomad was considered as the "true" version of the car, as later model years took the Chevy top-line station wagon and re-badged it as a Nomad which includes the Impala station wagon in 1959 and the Bel Air station wagon in 1960 and 1961.
True Nomads grasp an extraordinary place in the hearts of vintage Chevy fans because of the exceptional features established only on these cars. The car is so admired, that even a great number of associations, devoted completely to the Nomad, continue to enlarge their records each year. That’s a fact! Now what’s the stand of your Audi tail pipe dude?
