New (old) Wheels
I know this is a Corvette forum, but I had to share pics of the new wheels for the '55 Nomad.
Also, it does have a Corvette motor!
Especially for the old guys like myself who remembers this exact style.
I'm told that American never made the 15" x 10" torque thrust, but ET did make them for two years ('66 & '67).
Recently, I found this pair and couldn't resist!

Not much different, but they are different. These are the one's I removed.

Pat, Is that Regal Turquoise and Shoreline Beige? Those 50's pastels are just great. I had a '57 270 Matador Red Nomad back in 1988. Project looks great.
Good Luck

I just need to finish up the Nomad first.
The '63 is sitting on jack stands waiting for attention.
The good thing is that I have it here and it will get a complete restoration.
See you soon,
Pat

It's actually a '56 color, Tropical Turquoise with a white color that I just chose from the samples.
Thanks for the kind words.
Hope to have this one done in about three more months.

I will most definitely take you up on the offer.
Man.....it's taking everything I got to keep from tearing it apart.
It should only be a few more months before I get the Nomad ready.
Hopefully, I will be starting the motor within a week or two. Once I see everything is good, I'll begin assembly on the doors, fenders, glass etc.
Take care,
Pat
