Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this 1957 Chevrolet Nomad Restomod! By the mid 50's Chevy was doing remarkably well considering it had not even been a decade since the end of WWII. As Chevy unveiled their remodeled Bel Air, they also announced their newest member of the family, the Nomad Wagon. The Nomad was Chevy's Station wagon model on and off from 1955 to 1972 but the most memorable ones are these 55 to 57 models dubbed the tri-fives. Their styling has withstood the test of time and these rolling legends are highly sought after today. Here we have a '57 model and a Restomod! The black Dupont paint looks really sharp! Chrome is bright and the panel gaps look straight. Under the hood is a 454ci V8 bored over to a 461ci V8 and the stated 576rwhp is ran down through a Richmond 5-speed manual transmission! She is sporting a 12-bolt rear end, a 3.08 gear ratio, and Detroit Tru-Trac. The combination of gearing and displacement makes for a nice balance of power and cruising.
The build of this car is extensive, won't be able to list everything but here are many highlights. Car received a frame off restoration per the owner under his ownership. Coil Over Springs were installed, Vintage Air, Bear Claw Tracker Brake System (Front & Rear), Heidts suspension components, Classic Chevy Rack & Pinion Steering, Custom Ultraleather Interior with Dynamat (helps reduce road noise), Edelbrock RPM Heads, Hydraulic Roller Cam & Lifters, Comp Cams Magnum Roller Rockers, Edelbrock Pro-Flo Fuel Injection, GM Performance Parts Serpentine Belt Drive w/AC, Patriot 1 7/8" Ceramic Coasted Headers, New Bumpers, New Tinted Glass, All New Wiring/Harness & Lighting , and so much more!

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
