You're right. This is a station wagon.

The Chevy Nomad was first introduced as a concept car at Motorama in 1953 but was not available for public consumption until 1955. The car in the photo is much different than the production model in that it is actually a Corvette body that has been modified into a station wagon.

The Nomad was almost an enigma from the get-go.

My first car was a 55 Chevy 2 door wagon, not a Nomad.

I am 57 and have only seen one other one. I guess I shouldn't have sold it for $300 back in the early 70’s.

Then again, I shouldn't have sold the 69 Chevelle either. I get depressed watching Barret Jackson. LOL
