Description

Its model is such a storied part of American automotive culture that it's always a welcome sight to see one of its kind decked out like this 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad Restomod. Wearing a high gloss black finish and carrying a full complement of chrome that's in clean shape, this is a great looking rendition of Chevy's beloved vintage wagon and, as you draw closer, you'll notice that it's also well-fitted, with consistent body panel gaps, doors that open and close smoothly and badging that's securely in place and properly aligned. A set of 18" American Racing wheels wrapped with Nitto NTSSS tires add the perfect finishing touch to this thoroughly impressive cruiser.

The interior retains an era-appropriate appearance and radiates skilled workmanship. Featuring two rows of bench seats that are covered in black and silver vinyl and cloth and are bracketed by matching door panels, there's plenty to admire here. Every piece of chrome trim looks sharp, and you'll find no inconsistencies in the tinted glass that surrounds the rear portion of the cabin. Up front, the aftermarket steering wheel is perched on a tilting column and blends perfectly with the surrounding components and the dash area beyond it features the twin pod configuration that was a defining feature of this model, with a set of upgraded gauges inside the instrument cluster. The air conditioning is blowing strong and cold, and a Kenwood AM/FM stereo with an auxiliary port is on hand to ensure you won't run out of audio options.

This coveted classic offers a running condition on a par with its elite curb appeal. Beneath the hood lurks a 350-cubic-inch V8 that's outfitted with a Weber 4-barrel carburetor sitting on top of a polished Edelbrock intake manifold. It's surrounded by an impressive collection of attention-grabbing components, including a chrome serpentine belt system, and a chrome brake booster and master cylinder, along with a polished thermostat housing and a pair of polished headers leading out to a dual exhaust. A Becool aluminum radiator sits up front, teaming with a pair of electric fans to keep temperatures under control. With power steering and power brakes that position discs up front, this iconic wagon is a pleasure to drive, and it cruises on a front coilover suspension that adds adjustability and a refined ride.
