In 1954, Chevrolet rolled out the Nomad station wagon at New York City's Waldorf Astoria Hotel. This venue gave rise to the Nomad's nickname, "the Waldorf." Chevy produced the Nomad as a two-door sports wagon from 1955 to 1957. It became a four-door station wagon in the company's Bel Air model series from 1958 to 1961.
1955 Chevy Nomad
The vehicle that debuted as the Corvette Nomad prototype in New York City was an instant success. A two-door hardtop station wagon, it boasted a 265-cubic-inch, overhead V-8 engine with 162 horsepower. A wrap-around rear window, ribbed roof, vertical chrome tailgate bars and slanted "B" pillars were among its features.
1957 Chevy Nomad
Identical in mechanics and optional power plants to the 1955 version, the 1957 Nomad was Chevrolet's priciest vehicle at the time. A cowl back, two-toned paint scheme, real wheel fender cutouts, a cigarette lighter, chrome-outlined rear tail fins and optional dual antennas were just some of the features that could be found on various versions of this model.
1959 Chevy Nomad
In 1959, Chevrolet added cat's-eye tail lights and radical bat-wing fins to its popular station wagon. Now offered as part of the Impala series, the four-door Nomad gained 150 pounds between 1958 and 1959; it also grew two inches wider and longer. A 119-inch wheelbase was another change from previous models.
1960 Chevy Nomad
The four-door Nomad went from wild in 1959 to glamorous in 1960 with reshaped and separated bat-wing tail fins and three round tail lamps. The newest Nomad also boasted a molding strip that extended back from the round headlights, a quarter-panel missile ornament, a roof rack, cruise control and a padded dash. Power steering, seats, windows and brakes were also found on the 1960 Chevy Nomad.
