Featured on AutoHunter is this 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad wagon, which is powered by a rebuilt 350ci V8 paired with a three-speed manual gearbox. Refinished in India Ivory and Twilight Turquoise over a turquoise vinyl and gray cloth interior, this second-year Nomad is now offered by the seller in New Jersey with a clear title.
At one point, the exterior was repainted in its original colors of India Ivory and Twilight Turquoise, which are accented with chrome bumpers and brightwork. Other features include hood and fender ornaments, a driver-side mirror, and vertical tailgate trim strips.
This Nomad travels the roads and highways on a set of 15-inch wheels equipped with chrome covers and 205/75 Hankook whitewall radial tires.
The cabin is furnished with turquoise vinyl and gray cloth split-bench front and bench rear seating. Features include a three-spoke steering wheel with a chrome horn ring, a column-mounted manual shifter, an AM radio, a locking storage compartment, and a passenger-side clock.
Instrumentation consists of a 110-mph speedometer, gauges for the temperature and fuel level, and warning lights for the generator and oil pressure. The odometer shows 16,366 miles; the title for this vehicle indicates it’s mileage-exempt.
Under the hood is a 350ci V8 that was rebuilt in 1987. It comes equipped with an Edelbrock intake manifold, a four-barrel carburetor, and an HEI ignition. The engine sends its power to the road through a three-on-the-tree manual transmission. Manual drum brakes keep the engine in check.
In August 2023, this Nomad was aligned and its front suspension was updated with new upper and lower control arms, shafts, bushings. front shocks and springs, tie rods, and ball joints.
The auction for this 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad ends on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 11:15 a.m. (PDT).
