    Charles Nomads are very special icons of the 50's. I am an old guy but when I was in high school in the 60's one of my classmates'older brothers had a 57 Nomad with a 327 under the hood. I was a teenage car guy who was vicariously able to enjoy the amazing muscle car era. I never owned one but now am the proud owner of a 2019 2lt Corvette Grand Sport.
    Charles keep your over the top car channel humming. I love it!

    So glad you brought us a ‘55 Nomad...truly a unique mid-century Chevy whose appeal remains fresh today.
    Needless to say, “Joyride” has become a Friday institution!
    Keep up the great work, special pal! Now-where’s that ‘56 Caribbean we’ve discussed earlier? Lol! Have a great weekend.

    @davidf1985 3 роки тому +2

    Charles woke me up today with his excitement.
    So glad it's unrestored, because if the waffle pattern and rear glass need replacing , I am wondering if it can ever be replaced exactly to original specs.

  • @jakespeed63
    @jakespeed63 4 роки тому +1

    Spectacular car and story. In the early 70's, my older brother joined the Nomad club and almost bought one. We went to look at it together. Jet black and big block engine $1500!!!!! He didn't buy it, for some reason. Later in life my friend's uncle bought a jet black Nomad...and guess what!!! it was the exact same car!!!

  • @kayeninetwo3585
    @kayeninetwo3585 4 роки тому

    Wow, an all original Nomad! I didn't think that was possible! So beautiful, and I agree that the tri-five Nomad had the mother-of-all-B-pillars. 1955 Mopar, Ford and Studebaker B pillars can only hang their heads in shame by comparison! Great presentation, Charles!
    I was reminded by this video that I also have a 1955 Chevy owner's manual. My older brother gave it to me several years ago, but I'm not sure where he got it. Our family car was a 2 door '55 sedan back in the late 50's/early 60s, so that might be where it originally came from. I need to read that again!

    Thanks for the classic among classics, Nomad. By Chevrolet.

    1955 was the peak of the Baby Boom. A bold move by Chevrolet to introduce a 2 door station wagon!

  • @jimmywhite3922
    @jimmywhite3922 4 роки тому +3

    As a mid- century unrestored masterpiece myself (not 🤭)...I love the story behind this beautifully unrestored car! This proves....it's not the model year!...It's the mileage and maintenance! I knnnoooowwwww...Right, Charles? 😆

  • @glynngreenwood8788
    @glynngreenwood8788 4 роки тому

    Sooo simple.... beautiful simple styling AND IT WORKS....... Simple chrome strip on side, BUT seven CHROME ribs on the tailgate, and then let’s go inside .... MORE chrome ribs on the hood lining, just enough to make it zing.... a MILLION bow ties on the dash and WAFFLE treatment on the two tone interior... I am LOVING it. Reminds me perhaps of another unrestored ORIGINAL two door DE SOTO (Green and white) which we are waiting PATIENTLY to see......... subtle hint hint Charles.... Great Job mate, look forward to our Saturday morning to enjoy ANOTHER Joy Ride.... well done!!

  • @michaeltaylor1603
    @michaeltaylor1603 4 роки тому

    Yes! Futuristic station wagon indeed. It was even featured @ Epcot Center's World of Motion in 1982 until Test Track replaced it in the late 1990's. Pretty sure the car was "cannibalized" as Audio Animatronic family rode in the car. Still a great tribute to a great car. Thanks Charles!

  • @emjayay
    @emjayay 4 роки тому +2

    The chrome going over the headlights and down the side is Nomad-only trim. Also the stainless steel along the bottom of the door interior and probably the exposed stainless steel roof bows as well. And of course the trunk ribs, and the roof and more slanted rear. It probably wasn't worth the money GM spent on it as a halo station wagon. A really serious find by the owner.

    I really enjoy the backstories on these cars. What a car. What a treat. It's none of my business but I'd love to know what he paid for it. I find that these are for sale, restored and hot rod versions, for anywhere from $60k to $90k. I would have to guess that this one, in full original condition? You can't count that high.
