A local buddy built a Nomad out of a '57 Vette...what it woulda possibly looked like in 1957 if it had been originally produced from this one. He had it @ Corvettes @ Carlisle...anybody see it? I saw it @ the September Day Chevrolet Corvette Show, Monroeville, Pa. It was BREATHTAKING! :cool:

Anyone know what happened to the Corvair and Nomad show cars? Do they still exist.

If anybody has them, it a guy named Joe(?) "Bortz" from Chicago (I think) area. He has a BUNCH of concept cars that were supposed to have been destroyed - but weren't - and he ended up with them.

General Motors employees familiar with the cars have said that both were destroyed. :sad: :(

Anyone else see this car at Carlisle in August?

This link has sketches of the progression from the original 1954 Corvette Waldorf Nomad through the 1955-1957 Chevrolet Nomads. http://www.chevynomadclub.com/history.htm

Haven't we all secretly wanted a Nomad?
