This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad station wagon was modified during previous ownership and was purchased by the seller in 2008. The car is finished in blue-green over a black and gray interior and is powered by a fuel-injected 350ci V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Modifications are said to include a powder-coated frame, replacement bumpers, an upgraded suspension, a 10-bolt rear end, 17″ American Racing Torq Thrust wheels, power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, a reupholstered interior, power-adjustable front seats, power windows, a Vintage Air air-conditioning system, and an aftermarket stereo system. This Nomad is now offered with a clean Oklahoma title in the seller’s name.
The body was reportedly refinished in blue-green by Carolina Rod Shop in Piedmont, South Carolina in 2002. Features include chrome trim, wraparound rear windows, and a hinged rear tailgate. The seller states that replacement one-piece bumpers were recently installed.
17″ American Racing Torq Thrust wheels wear Kumho Ecsta ASX tires. Power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes and an upgraded suspension with Bilstein shocks were reportedly installed by Carolina Rod Shop.
The interior is upholstered in black and features a body-color steering wheel and dashboard, an aftermarket center console with cup holders, power windows, a Vintage Air air-conditioning system, and an aftermarket stereo. The seller states that power-adjustable front seats were recently installed and that the carpets, door panels, headliner, and rear seat cover were recently replaced.
An aftermarket gauge cluster includes a 7k-rpm tachometer, 120-mph speedometer, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, water temperature, and voltage. The digital odometer shows 5k miles. True mileage is unknown.
The 350ci V8 was reportedly sourced from a 1996 Corvette and was installed by Carolina Rod Shop. Features include an aluminum radiator, braided stainless steel hoses, polished accessories, an aftermarket engine air intake, an Optima battery, and body-color fuel rail covers.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed GM 4L60 automatic transmission and a 10-bolt rear end. The frame was reportedly powder coated, and a dual exhaust system is fitted.
