It's arguably one of the most iconic rides Chevy ever created. Just one look at this 1956 Chevrolet Nomad is all it takes to conjure up images of a simpler time, full of carefree adventuring. Revitalized in a Charcoal Gray Metallic over Cream color scheme, with some added metallic flakes in the gray section to catch the sun to perfection, this is a great looking classic. It features a tastefully lowered stance and its set of ultra-sharp 17" Billet Specialties wheels adds the perfect finishing touch. This vintage Chevy's chrome bright work is in fine condition, including the telescoping chrome antenna, the window tinting retains nice, even coloring and a closer inspection will confirm that its door seals and window trim are pliable and have kept any potentially intruding elements at bay.
The vinyl interior has been thoroughly refreshed to color-match the exterior and it really presents well, with comfortable bench seating that shows no concerning wear and both carpeting and door panels that are in great shape. An undersized aftermarket steering wheel sits on a tilting column and the signature fan-shaped instrument cluster just beyond it is crystal clear, with a trio of AutoMeter gauges integrated into the custom center console just to the right to monitor motoring functions, along with a Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo. An added Vintage Air climate control system makes this Bel Air a comfortable driver throughout the year and while the system isn't currently blowing as cold as it should, that should likely be remedied by a simple freon recharge.
There's plenty to like beneath the hood, where a 350-cubic-inch V8 stands by, ready for action and outfitted with a four-barrel Quadrajet carburetor. Mated to a smooth shifting 3-speed automatic transmission, the engine is in fine form, sending a deep note out of the dual exhaust that leads to a pair of Borla mufflers. A Moroso aluminum radiator sits up front, equipped with a pair of electric fans to keep operating temperatures in check, and the way the aftermarket air conditioning condenser was so cleanly integrated with the radiator shows a reassuring attention to detail. Power brakes that include discs up front bring prompt stops, while the power steering on this Chevy makes it easy to maneuver.
