In 2001 I saw an add for a 1956 Nomad. It was finally time
that I thought
that I could afford one. My wife and I went to Louisville Kentucky and
purchased the car. It was stock. The person I purchased it from said he
had it for 15 years and wanted to sell it so he could buy a lawnmower.
Wished I had brought over my lawn mower so we could have just traded.
I took the car apart as I wanted to change a few things. Engine from the
265 to a 350 create motor. Well I got a new job in another state. Packing
parts away in a car that is apart and trying to move it is challenging.
Well after many moves to several storage places different garages I finally
pulled the car into our home. Finally 2006 I got the car running.
In 2005 I saw a 1957 Chevy Nomad at a car show. The car was gorgeous. I
spoke to the owner who's name was Larry Myers. I spoke to him about my
car. I also found out that he works on the Nomads. Well this weekend the
car is going over to his facility. I am wanting to get all the running
gear in top order so that in July I can drive the 56 to San Antonio.
I am sending some pictures so that you can add to the collection of another
proud owner of a Nomad. PS this car at one time used to be registered in
the Nomad Club.
