Classic wagon

As we all know, chrome bumper wagons are very cool at the moment, and this two-door probably ranks somewhere near the top of that index.

In our feature on Chevs of this era: "Known as Tri-Years, 1955-57 is for many enthusiasts a pivotal era for the marque.

"It saw the introduction of a new small block Turbo-Fire 265 V8 that was to grow in capacity and output to become legendary across the decades. That it was lighter and more powerful than the existing mainstream 235 inline six was a good start.
"Back in 1955, Chevrolet had 14 models in its range and its primary sales target was to beat Ford. You could get a sedan with a six-cylinder powerlant for just $1600, while options and add-ons saw you closer to the top of the range in a well-equipped Bel Air at near $2800. This was also the year that saw the introduction of the elegant Nomad two-door wagon."

Running an injected V8 auto, this Nomad is said to have been fully restored back in 2008 and has been held in a collection largely as a display piece since then.

Located in Adelaide, it’s with Classic & American Imports at $149,900.
