It all started at the 1954 Autorama Show. General Motors was displaying vehicles " From the Future" as well as their current models. The lines that formed around one of these 'Future' vehicles - a deluxe station wagon - convinced them to go into production on the Chevrolet Nomad. The Nomad was the special and sporty Chevrolet 2-door sports station wagon, with 1957 as its last and final build in a three year run. The name Nomad continued but as a 4-door model from 1958 on and sold far better than in the 2-door style. All 2-door style tri-five Nomads are very collectible today and are especially highly prized as factory originals. Just 6,103 Nomad models were built for 1957, with a total three year model build of 22,375 units. The Atlantis release of the sleek 1957 Nomad captures the excitement of the late '50s drive-in scene. It is loaded with details like a small-block Chevrolet V-8 which can be done 2 ways, an opening hood, hinged rear tailgate, and rotating wheels. Build it with stock Bel Air hubcaps or the chrome reverse wheels. It comes with beautiful flame decals similar to the famous Hollingsworth Nomad.
