This 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad is one of the most iconic and collectible station wagons ever built. Finished in a beautiful India White and Twilight Turquoise two-tone exterior over a matching turquoise cloth and vinyl interior, this Tri-Five Chevrolet captures the style and optimism of 1950s America.
Originally equipped with a 265 ci V8, it was upgraded in 1987 to a factory rebuilt 350 ci V8, offering improved performance and reliability while maintaining its classic appeal. The Nomad is widely regarded as the crown jewel of Chevrolet's Tri-Five lineup. With only 7,886 examples produced in 1956, it stands out with its sleek two-door hardtop styling, Corvette-inspired roofline, wraparound rear glass, ribbed roof, radiused rear wheel openings, and distinctive chrome trim.
The exterior features India White and Twilight Turquoise two-tone paint, wide whitewall tires, factory wheel covers, and bright chrome accents. The iconic Nomad roofline and wraparound rear glass add to its distinctive look.
Inside, the spacious cabin offers a turquoise cloth and vinyl interior with front split-bench and rear bench seats, along with a generous cargo area. The interior emphasizes style and practicality, making it a versatile classic.
Mechanically, the vehicle is powered by a dependable factory rebuilt 350 ci V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor, aluminum intake manifold, and HEI electronic ignition. The original generator has been upgraded to a modern alternator for improved charging performance.
The undercarriage is clean and well-maintained, reflecting careful care and restoration.
Highlights include its rarity—one of only 7,886 produced—upgraded V8 engine, striking two-tone color scheme, and its status as a highly desirable collector classic.
