Chevrolet had a successful year in 1957 that arguably produced some of the best looking cars since World War II. In the luxury department, Bel Air topped the high-end offering once again. Perhaps, most memorable of the series was the Nomad station wagon, the most expensive of the seven Bel Air body types. It was tremendously attractive and with sales only reaching 6,103 units for 1957, they remain highly sought-after and collectible to this day.

Often called the “beauty queen of American station wagons,” this example may very well be one of the finest available. This fabulous car received one repaint five years ago and it retains the original upholstery and headliner.

The Nomad is powered by a Power Pack 283-cid V-8 engine that is coupled to a Powerglide automatic transmission and runs with dual exhaust. This well-optioned car is equipped with factory air conditioning, tinted glass, padded dash, traffic light viewer finder, Wonder Bar radio, day / night mirror, tissue dispenser, Autronic Eye, spinner hubcaps; power windows, seat, brakes and steering. It also has an uncommon cigarette ash dispenser that is vacuum-operated with a under-dash glass container that collects the discarded ashes. Beautifully presented in Sierra Gold and Polo White; whitewall tires and exceptional, stylish brightwork trim help set a tall standard for this most popular Chevrolet icon of the 1950s.
