Chevrolet Nomad is a nameplate used by Chevrolet in North America from the 1950s to the 1970s, applied largely to station wagons. Three different Nomads were produced as a distinct model line, with Chevrolet subsequently using the name as a trim package.
Marketed as a halo model of the Chevrolet station wagon line for the Tri-Five series, the Nomad was repackaged as a station wagon counterpart of the Chevrolet Bel Air and Chevrolet Impala from 1958 to 1961. From 1968 to 1972, the Nomad returned as the base-trim Chevrolet Chevelle station wagon.
Making its debut on a 1954 concept car, the nameplate has again seen used by Chevrolet on multiple concept vehicles; none have reached production.
Sharing its roofline design nearly intact from the 1954 Motorama "dream car", the first version of the Chevrolet Nomad was produced as a two-door "sport wagon". While considered a distinct model line,[3] the Nomad was trimmed in line with the Bel Air sedan, along with its badging.[4]
The production Nomad was the Chevrolet counterpart of the Pontiac Safari; while the two vehicles shared an identical chassis and roofline, the Safari shared its front fascia with the Pontiac Chieftain and interior trim with the Pontiac Star Chief (its sedan counterpart).
1955
Priced at $2571, the Nomad was among the most expensive 1955 Chevrolets (excluding the Corvette); the model line received a 265 cubic-inch V8 as standard equipment. While the Nomad received Bel Air fender badging,[4] to emphasize its roofline, the Nomad only shared the front fender trim and door trim with the Bel Air. In contrast with other Chevrolets, the Nomad was designed with fully radiused rear wheel openings (a design feature of the Corvette). Coinciding with the design of its roofline, the Nomad shared its front doors with the Bel Air hardtop and convertible (using frameless door glass).
As with the four-door Beauville station wagon, the Nomad received interior trim similar to the Bel Air sedan; the model line was the only two-door Chevrolet wagon fitted with interior carpeting and cloth seats.[5] Though distinguished by its forward-sloping rear window, tailgate, and B-pillar, the Nomad included a two-piece split tailgate and flat-folding rear seat.[4]
1956
Sharing the same front fascia update as other 1956 Chevrolets, the exterior of the Nomad adopted the revised side-panel trim of the Bel Air. Again called both a Nomad and a Bel Air Nomad interchangeably,[6] the model line received a standard two-tone exterior and interior.[6][7] The fully-radiused rear wheel openings were dropped for the Nomad; all non-Corvette Chevrolets received a larger rear-wheel cutout.
For 1956, Ford introduced the Ford Parklane as a direct competitor of the Nomad. While the Parklane would outsell the Nomad by nearly two-to-one for 1956, Ford discontinued the model line after a single model year. - Авто та транспорт
This is one of those kits you want several of because there's so many ways you can build it.
I love watching your videos. I feel like a lot of other channels burn them selves out trying to make a super detailed and perfect model. I love to see that you do this for fun and don't use all those fancy paints and clearcoats and just have fun doing it. Always something to have running in the background while I work on mine. Keep at it! Love the videos
correct..like art👌
I love the fact you encourage people to build there way
I love your channel. I like the way you build( shelf builds). I also love your tips. Keep up the good work. There are more if us who build for self pleasure than for contest.
Great video / build
like this one! love that color
Very nice
Looks really nice
Wicked cool!
Nice ! Right On ! ...... Been Watching Your Videos, Your Unbox'n Detail Has Inspired Me So As Much My 66 Ford Pickup Is Being Shipped Now , Watched That Video Just Lastnight. Thanks For Your Enthusiasm, Breakdown Parts , Painting Techniques, Perspectives On Many Options You Offer . What Else To Do Here In Minnesota, Scale Modeling Is My New Trend , You " ROCK "
I love that model glad to see it out again
Man that looks sharp
First year of the "Chevy Tri-Fives" 55, 56 and 57. Also known as the "Shoe Box" cars - because, shoeboxes. This is a very nice build. I dig your personalized custom builds - the back stories are fun. I'm buying two - one bone stock and one towed to the Drags in 1964, by a 64 Chevy. Thanks again for the build - see you next time.
Beauty, nice job
I love how the 55 Nomad come out 😎
I actually just found this kit by AMT at a thrift store for $15, really fun build
Really cool stuff Chris stay safe and positive keep up the amazing work
I asked the Birthday Fairy for this kit…Can’t wait to build it!
I'm waiting for mine to arrive. After seeing the tire options I knew what I wanted to do with it. I'm building it as a phantom factory stock El Camino. Should be fun! I'll definitely send pics of it when I'm done.
Brilliant job mate👍
After watching you on how to strip paint using QCS I was very imperssed, I ordered it. It works great. Thanks
Like it!!! I have always liked the wagons and it has a great two-tone paint scheme. Keep up the great work and videos.
I want to get that kit just to do the pickup truck, that looks cool👍
1 second in and I’m already hyped to buy one!
I probably have a half-dozen of these kits stashed from back-in-the-day. One was used to kitbash the Waldorf Nomad 1954 show circuit car--a Nomad-Corvette hybrid.
Another great build! Thanks so much for sharing. Always enjoy your videos and builds.
So happy to see this kit back out, especially with the new parts and decal sheet. I bought this kit twice between 1998 and 1999 and really enjoyed building it, but in those days all AMT provided you with as a decal sheet was a choice of three license plates. This is more like it!
Wish they had sent you two.
The gasser build would have been great to see also.
LOVE the thumbnail shot. I'll bet the background is FDR Drive along the East River in Manhattan NYC...
Close, only about 1100 miles off. :)
@@hpiguy dang, I thought I nailed it!
~great video~love your builds~so detailed~bought three coupes that have the same parts in it basically~made the last two pro stock dragsters~
I just commented on your 72 F250 with plow being one of my favorite builds of yours. The Nomad is one of my favorite cars of all time. Funny how things like that pan out.
Always a pleasure watching your videos Chris. I'm in the middle of building my 55 Nomad right now. :-)
Excellence build and review Chris! Sweet color choices and I really like the dressed up stock interior with the cut down console 👌!!
Good to see this one again. Alot of the older issues are getting a little expensive. Nice build!
All the Gasser & straight axle parts are interchangeable with the AMT 55 Chevy 2 door sedan kit.
I built the El Camino when I was a kid, don't have it anymore or picks but what I remember of it, it was fairly easy to do
Really love your videos , keep up the good work , can't wait till the next kit , you inspire my building kits almost like the box but in my way like you do , your right it is for fun
I had a 55 Nomad that I bought in 1974. Sold it in 1975 like a dummy. I now have a 55 Bel-Air 3 owner car. Regal Turquoise and India Ivory. 265 and Powerglide. So the only Nomads I can afford are these. Thanks for your builds.
I want about 3 of these!
I love that kit, want to build it sometime...
Dying to get this kit. Great build thanks for showing. Love those 2n1 and 3n1 for the extra parts.
My man I think you have a great sense of great colors for cars!
Looks great Cris an the color an the white top an open wheels just set it off another great build 👍🏻👍
Looks AWESOME as always
Rerelease of older version had it when I was younger I believe late 70’s early 80’s
Thank you Chris! Great build up! Definitely ordering this kit!
Love the Nomad... & the perfect color ✌️🙂
You gotta pick another kit so you can do that wicked pickup version, but only a custom version !
Thank you for the video 🎥 😁
Great build and review of the Nomad. I really like the semi-custom look of the model. I have a feeling many of these kits will be build similar to yours. I know mine would be similar. Thanks for sharing.
Great video and build. Your enthusiasm is infectious. I really enjoy the videos you do.
Glad you enjoy it!
Great job looks real Sharp thanks for sharing
I am SO building the Jill Taylor Nomad (pre steel beam smash) from Home Improvement!
Yup, that was one of my ideas for it as well, great car.
I always thought the Taylor Nomad had a white roof. But it is completely red.
That is so funny, I built a 56 Chevrolet model one time and scratch modified it into a truck! I didn't know they had this version! But that was in the 1970s!
Great build Chris that is one good-looking nomad great job 👍👍
I'd like to see you build the pickup truck
Another great build - like the colors you chose. Thanks.
Chris, I use acetone to remove the pad printed color on the tires. It has to be 100% acetone, but the paint comes right off. Easier than painting over the white. OBTW excellent job.
Great video look cool as a gasser always enjoy your builds thanks
Once again I watch one of your videos and a kit I was on the fence about is now on my list to get.
Looks awesome Chris.
Excellent work on the '55 Nomad Custom! Love the color choices and the story behind it!
Awesome build! I love the way that you styled it!
Cool an Chevy El Camino , I guess they are showing what a El Camino really is , It's just a Station Wagon with most of the roof cut off , Some call it a Pickup Truck but it don't have that type of suspension of a Pickup Truck , Just a light Dudy Station Wagon suspension , But it would make a nice El Camino Gasser !
Nice build Chris. I built a couple of these years ago; going to have to pick up another one. 😊
As for painting the underside of the interior tub, you can see the cast-white in the rear wheelwell from the underside of the model, esp. if you use the thin stock tires in the rear. so if that's a concern for builders, be sure to paint that area and the corresponding inside of the body (older kits gave you a template cast it for cutting the rear wheel openings for slicks).
the shifter handle on the steering column isn't for a Powerglide automatic, but a "three on the tree" manual shifter. Originally these "shoebox Chevies" had red oxide floorpans with black frames. If the single exhaust signified an original "stovebolt six" engine, the radiator would end up in front of the support due to the engine's length over the 265 cid V8. Line the back of the red tailights with aluminum foil for a reflector effect.
On the chrome trees, there's some squared off sections that can be cut off and glued to the underside of the dashboard to appear as the "tissue paper dispenser" option popular on some 1950's cars.
That's a great idea for filling the "trunk" with the extra parts, as if coming home from a swap or heading to a "test 'n' tune" night.
Great tips! I'll be building that kit as a phantom factory stock El Camino and will definitely be putting your tips to good use! Thanks and God bless 🙏
I love your channel, I have learned a lot from watching your videos. I hope you build the Sodbuster that is coming out this month from Round2.
I built this as the pickup wayyyyyy back in the 70's, painted with metalflake burgundy spray paint, I think made by Duplicolor, from the local Western Auto, (and, yes, they still exist). One of my favorites, it was, after all, the first "kit bash" I had ever done, unfortunately, it has been long lost to the ages, but I do have one in the stash.
Love the color scheme! Well done!
Nice looking build sir! Eventually will get one.
Chris, that gasser/stock look is COOL!!
Those chrome straight axles are fidely. Scraping off the chrome is a MUST at the joints, or you will have a pile of parts in no time.
When are you going to build an 80's S-10 Blazer, preferably in silver paint????
Your friend from many, many years ago:)
Love it. Great job as always.
I built this kit years ago as the pickup. Lowered down with a C4 Corvette ZR1 32 valve V8 under the hood.
Not a GM guy; as a boomer my tri-5's were the '57-'59 Mopars; made GMs tri 5's look ancient. Having said that, you KILLED this model - not stock - just the way I liked my girls decades ago - "just the right amount of too much make-up". One thing about the"rake' - in the 50s the guys actually had the front a little jacked up - I remember in my neighborhood it was '56 Crown Vics and Pontiac Starchiefs with a front rake. My gen - 60s was all about cramming G60s into the rear of a B Body Mopar and jacking up the ass (or cranking the torsion bars to lower front) a tad - for the funny car rake. Not a GM guy but a memories guy and that's what you are nailing big time. •••• 👀
I DID build this one as a pick up when I was younger. Didn't cut the roof right, so there's a little gap. That said, right now it's sitting in its box with a stock Nomad I had built before it, 'cuz I don't have proper display for all my cars (I could display them on tablets like I did before, but I'm tired of removing dust from them). I will check if I might not have some old pics of that build somewhere to show you. I actually really enjoy this kit, so I have a third one that I wanna build as some resto-mod.
Oddly, I don't recall the side lights being windowless, nor needing to use lexan to put window on them. Guess they shortened the windshield then. I never thought about cutting the center console to put the bench. That's a nice idea.
Nice build. This kit is nice. I agree with you with the undercarriage being "boring". If Round2 wanted, they could make a new undercarriage and parts to improve that issue. But as they are "nostalgia sell", well. That said, this doesn't stop anyone with a 3d printer to make a cool undercarriage.
EDIT: Unfortunately, I don't have old pic of that build. I went to see in the pile of box in which the vast majority of my build cars currently reside and the Nomad's box is at the bottom, so if I take it out, i think it's gonna bring all the pile down. Sorry.
EDIT2: I've chanced it and the pile didn't fall apart. Pictures of the Nomads coming soon (as soon as I clear a place to do proper pics).
Just got this kit today love it
Another awesome build!!! Thank you. I got a question. With all the models you build, what do you do with them when they are finished?By now, you must have a full house of models. 😂 Is it possible for you to make a video on how you display and or store all those models? Thanks again! I learn a lot from your builds.
Not many videos ago I asked about what glue you used and picked it up and gotta say, it's great stuff, gotta thank you for that, been making the GMC Astro a lot easier as well as it's trailer
I'd have to do the truck gasser!
the Testor's ilver paint is actually made from powder of silver and transpaent paint
Great build as always.
I usually never complain but.....
Why did you glue the tailgate?
It would have been so cool to have it open, and a toolbox, tools, and a carburetor on a work tray.
Guess that's why they make white cars, & red cars.
Excellent! I think tho you put that rear diff in upside down
im doing that ute at the momant.
15:02 In case you're wondering why the rear end is so jacked up, the rear suspension was installed upside down. (Not sure if that was intentional...) :)
You are the Bob Ross of model building.🤓👍
Happy little sprue trees.
@@Jameschewingfoil 🤓👍
Id build it chopped dropped sectioned
I was wondering if you had a full collection video?
Another great video you hit it out of the park. That is a great color on the car. Where can I find it?
The runner with the engine and radiator looks like the runner from amt 1/25 scale 55 chevy bel air sedan with would make sense being 55 chevys and the nomad looks like the bel air with an extended roof.
The second or third episode of Quantum Leap was called Cam-i-kazi Kid ( the kids' name was Cameron - get it ? ) He drove a pretty sweet '55 Nomad that all the other kids
called "The Mom Mobile". During the episode, Cam soups-up his Nomad with nitrous oxide to race against his sister's boyfriend who is a jerk and is mean to Cam's sister.
The boyfriend drives a pretty nice '61 Impala convertible that Cam races for "pinks" (pink-slip...auto registration). It was a memorable episode for all the classic cars.
.....Ooooppps, my bad...it was actually episode 7 of the first season. It can be purchased on some of the streaming services - I can't find it for free.
I noticed the rear bench seat doesn't have a back to it. I have a previous release in my stash and it was omitted too. Does anybody know if any of the multiple releases ever had the second pc ? I made a filler with sheet styrene. I dig the gasser frt end and p/u option
Great job man, she looks sweet have a question, What kind of masking tape are you using for this one???
I have an older version. Going to get to it one day. I watch your videos before I build my kits to get tips and ideas. By the way what does H...P....I stand for?
H P I stand for "HAPPY"
Chris, what are the model numbers of the Molotow pens you use? You never show them while using them. I use #737 and #741 and #743. Tell me which ones you use. Thanks!
great build ! just wondering why its so hard to find civilian figures to go with this scale!?
does anyone make a 1/25 1967 chevy caprice model
A gasser has a straight axle
Not all gasser class cars had the straight axle. In the mid 60's my next door neighbor had a beautiful 55 Chevy as a daily driver that he took to the drags on Sunday. It ran in the D/Gas class. He gave me a ride once. I was thrilled.
So, what's the true meaning of a Gasser?
Fisrt
As always from your bench, nice build. I like to view your channel because I've got a couple of builds coming up that you have done and I can watch out for any pitfalls that might come up based on your ĥints
