1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad

This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad was modified and refurbished in 2023, and it is powered by a GM Performance Parts ZZ6 small-block V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The car rides on a C4 Corvette chassis with adjustable coilovers, rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and 17″ chrome split-spoke wheels, and the exterior is finished in pearl maroon with chrome trim. The cabin was reupholstered in white and red leather and outfitted with Vintage Air climate control, a retro-look digital stereo, Dakota Digital instrumentation, and a power-adjustable bench seat. Acquired by the current owner in 2023 and listed on BaT in October 2024, this modified Nomad is offered again on dealer consignment with service records and a clean Nevada title. The car was refinished in pearl maroon during the build, and details include a hood ornament, hooded headlights, dual chrome mirrors, dual exhaust outlets, and chrome bumpers and trim. Close-up photos of the paint and trim are provided in the gallery. The car rides on a C4 Corvette chassis with adjustable coilovers, rack-and-pinion steering, and a transverse rear leaf spring.
