The 1954 Chevrolet Corvette Nomad concept station wagon, designed by Harley Earls design staff, was introduced at the 1954 General Motors Motorama in New York City. Nomad was another name that Chevrolet would tag onto a production vehicle in the near future. Although resembling a Corvette, and in fact using many Corvette components, the Nomad was built on a modified 1953 Chevrolet sedan chassis. From the windshield posts forward, the Nomad was strictly stock Corvette.
The silver-blue and white Nomad was fitted with a Corvette 150-horsepower, 235 C.I.D., 6-cylinder engine with a 2-speed Powerglide transmission. This 2-door fiberglass show car station wagon had room for 6 passengers. The tailgate had electrically-powered glass. The interior was finished in blue and white leather with a fold-down rear seat and a ribbed headliner.
Pieces of the 1954 concept Corvette Station Wagon were actually put into production in 1955, and the car became the Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad Wagon

I rode with chili quite a few times. I wasn't cool enough for his 'drive-in' cruises but every so often I would get a ride to school with him.
I was a year younger the cooch (preferred over time because he got tired of being referred to as a 'chili dipper') but we were pretty much neighbors with about 10 houses in between us. I also spent a lot of time with him at Alexander Brothers when the car was being built.
Back then, the Silver Saphire was one bad hombre!!
