Re: 57 Nomad Project.........
Have enjoyed visiting your build and all the fine work you have done. I owned one of these for several years many year's ago. Actually it my first vehicle after getting out of college and soon getting married. Sold my '57 BelAir Coupe that took me through 4 years of school prior to the Nomad. I remember my future father in law had serious questions about this Nomad purchase (and me) at the time. Moved out of state early in my career and along with a small u-haul truck we loaded our remaining belongings in our Nomad......lots of room with that back seat down. Unlike yours I remember the back window would rattle when I hit a bigger bump in the road. I also remember it drove and rode like a boat (especially when it was windy) but it was still a cool vehicle. I think I sold it in '73 for about $1500. My wife's '67 Camaro then became out sole mode of transportation.......a little different ride [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
Have never been w/o a "hobby car" since and that covers more years than I care to think about.
