Gorgeous 1956 Chevy Bel Air Nomad barn find that was lovingly brought back to life. The Chevy Nomad has no post on the doors making the Nomad more of a hardtop coupe. The Nomad wagons were only built from 1955 to 1957, part of the Tri-Five generation, with the two door form and is a classic vintage mid-century American design. The Nomads became a legend although they only had moderate success with regard to sales. The Nomad nameplate was also used on the 1958 to 1961 on the Bel Air, from 1959 to 1960 on the Impala and on the 1961 models but with a more conservative appearance. The 1968 to 1972 Chevelle wagon also shared the Nomad nameplate however it was also very conservative in appearance. In 1976 the Chevy Vega Nomad model was available as well and a Chevrolet Van Nomad model in the years 1977 to 1981. In 1979, 1991, 1999 and 2004 several Chevrolet concept variations under the Nomad nameplate were displayed at various auto shows.
The Chevy Nomads produced from 1955 to 1957 are without a doubt the most highly sought after variants and whenever the name Chevy Nomad comes up it is the vehicles from the famous Tri-Five years that are being discussed. The Tri-Five Nomads did not utilize the more upright appearance of the station wagons and the two doors used on these models was from the hardtop series of vehicles. The Nomad also used a forward slanting B-Pillar, sliding rear side windows and vertical chrome strips that were unique to the Tri-Five models.
