Beneath those seats, tight carpet floats rugged Bel Air floor mats between billet sills and big Clarion speakers.
#57 chevy nomad driver#
Plush bench seats combine supple hides with body-matched belts and a foldable armrest that splits the driver and front passenger. And, in old school road trip fashion, there's even a hitch to pull a travel trailer!ĭepress the button on this Nomad's bright chrome door handle and you'll find custom leather digs that are both stylish and comfortable. Power meets the pavement thanks to chrome Boyd Coddington blades, which spin 225/55ZR17 Falken Ziex and 235/55ZR17 Falken Ziex around trick bowtie stem caps. Aluminized pipes funnel spent gases through throaty Flowmaster mufflers and polished bowtie tips. A proven factory suspension has been upgraded with tubular control arms and modern coil-overs. Confident stops come courtesy of power-assisted discs. Cushy turning characteristics are provided by power rack-and-pinion steering. Behind the engine, a dressed 700R4 4-speed spins a familiar GM axle. Under this classy wagon, a straight and solid chassis stacks subdued Satin Black paint under solid, textured floors. And presentation is top notch, with strategically placed mirror accents reflecting items like trick dipsticks, a trick coil cover, a polished oil pan and polished hood hardware. A polished brake booster works well with a proven Wilwood master cylinder. A stylish serpentine drive spins an aluminum water pump between a polished alternator and a polished AC compressor. Cooling is provided by a polished aluminum radiator, which hangs between spry SPAL fans and an aftermarket support. At the back of those covers, an aftermarket distributor fires sleeved plug wires, which snake around coated block hugger headers.
At the base of that carb, a chromed Edelbrock intake feeds cast iron heads, which tilt finned and polished valve covers under stylized breathers. And at the back of the car, a second body-width bumper balances stylish LED brake lights at the sides of a wide tailgate that's finished with polished slats and Nomad-exclusive ornamentation.įollow this Bel Air's bright shine into its clean engine bay and you'll find 400 cubic inches of all-American small block that's ready to pose and poised to cruise! At the top of that proven Chevy mill, a finned and polished air cleaner feeds a coated Quick Fuel carburetor that's supplemented with a quick electric choke. At the top of those scripts, curvy stainless splits the difference between polished wipers and dark-tint glass. At the sides of those lights, deluxe 'speed spears' float gold “Bel Air” scripts between small mirrors, guarded door handles, factory rocker trim and gold, Bel Air-exclusive fender louvers. Above that crest, Bel Air-exclusive header ornamentation rides between hooded tri-bar headlights and '57 Chevy-exclusive 'spear bullet and spoons'. And not only does that highly polished pigment present well from all angles, it provides a rolling testament to top notch metalwork and years of stellar care.ĭetailing begins with a polished, body-width bumper, which props a gold Bel Air grille behind a pristine Chevrolet crest and two clear parking lamps. When the time came for restoration, the car's solid panels were massaged flat in preparation for striking red and white two-stage. This Nomad retains much of its factory charm thanks to what appears to be a largely rust-free life that was devoid of catastrophic events. A low, sleek profile replaced the first gen's carried-over, 1940s lines, officially marking the arrival of the “Hot One”. The second-generation Bel Air represented a massive departure from its predecessors. Both rare and highly desirable, this timeless, all-American rig is one of the coolest people movers on the planet! And whether you're a diehard Chevy fan, a wagon enthusiast or just someone who wants to drive something not often seen, it'll have you dreaming of good times and great friends! And since this Chevy has been fully restored, equipped with a hot small block and fitted with a cushy interior that's bigger than some people's bedrooms, it was more than willing to make the trip. In fact, when we first saw this awesome 1957 Nomad pull in to our showroom, all we wanted to do was jump behind the wheel and head for the closest beach.
