The 1954 Chevrolet Corvette Nomad Dream Car was first displayed in the 1954 GM Motorama alongside its stable-mate Corvette variants, the Corvette Corvair (a hardtop slanted coupe), the standard Corvette roadster and a fixed coupe Corvette. The front end of the Corvette “Station Wagon” was identical to that of the production Corvette, with a sloping hood and slotted vertical grill.
Pieces of this 1954 concept car were actually put into production in 1955, and the car became the Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad wagon.
It is said that Chevrolet liked the name “Nomad” because it connoted “roaming, a wanderer”.
This is a 1/43 scale model of the 1954 Chevrolet Corvette Nomad. It was built in England, from sturdy white metal.
