Here's my 150

 

Ahh, the good ol' days.....
This 1956 one owner, original paint, V8 car was 1500 bucks in the mid 80's.
Still have the girl though.

 

^^^^ Wise choice even with only 1 HP.

 

I gotta show you the one I saw today....

 

Never saw a nicer one that needed a set of wheels and tires any worse or the lack of curb feelers but yeah shes a beauty even if it were up on blocks

 

I've been through a LOT of cars over the years, and I still have the girl too. At least I did one thing right!

1976?
LT-1 valve covers

 

I bought a new pair around 1990 from the dealer, only put a thousand miles on them and sold them and bought the new tall cast Chevy ones when they first came out.......dumb move.

 

Those are '69-'82 Z/28 and LT-1 L82 Corvette valve covers. That picture was the cover photo from the August 1972 issue of Popular HotRodding.

Here's some pics over the years, first 1969 in snow, second 1970 after my dad redid the car while I was in Vietnam and third an fourth are from 1979 after complete nut and bolt rebuild running a 331 Chevy, Doug Nash 5 speed race trans and 12 bolt with 4.88 gears, ran low 11s. Wish she was still in my garage.

 

I've had this hardtop since 1988, sorry for the shitty pic's. Oval port 427, M21 w/Hurst, 3:55 rear. She's a real fun beater :

Hello,

The classic 1955 Chevy Nomad stood out among all of the other station wagons of the era. It was one of the only wagons that had stock accommodations (large wheel wells) for different wheels without spoiling the look of the design. It was one of the only two door wagons that had the unique designed rear quarter panel windows for clear vision all around. Talk about unobstructed vision all around the wagon when driving…no blind spot problems here.

Of course, we all wanted to have one of these as the classic beach cruiser and surf wagons. But, very few were at the beach in our neck of the woods, because of the high cost for teenagers with little to none in the income department. They looked fabulous, ran well, could be a fast cruiser/racer, but the cost just overran the dreams for all of us.

This red 55 Nomad had all of the makings of the ultimate surf wagon and cruiser. Everything was in place from the dealer’s showroom floor. But, the sharp eye would identify the tri-fin surfboard instead of a 60’s era big plank board. The wooden single fin with inserted laminations and a clear bead all around would be the ones made during the late 50’s-60’s surf scene.

So, this one is for the modern day surfer with money, to buy or build such a cool wagon and add in the modern tri fin surfboard for those cool, wave riding days at the beach. If the longboard were era specific, it may have been sticking out into the public walkway of the Price Automobilia Museum. The display called for a shorter surfboard and was inserted for the instant surf themed, “visual effect.”

 

Beautiful car man. Somehow I have always liked the 'plain' 150 model best. It shows the elegance of the basic design off to great effect by being less cluttered.

 

Beautiful 55. Needs an LS style engine, and 5 or 6 speed transmission. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.
