and it's for sale! I think the guy wants some ridiculous amount. It's been "for sale" for years.

A '57 panel wagon gasser? Very interesting and cool but I don't know why he'd expect to get a ton out of it.

Without the lower half of that really iconic grill, that nomad isn't going to fetch much cash without a real sucker buying it. Also depends on what the interior and other custom work looks like. Anyone can stuff tennis balls into a spring...

What's that rat hiding in the background?

They were all called that back then. The difference is in the tailgate mostly, two piece or single piece door, at least for the '55 model (150 or 210). Get into the Handyman models, and we're talking more complicated stuff. 210 had more chrome than the 150, both were called sedan deliveries though. Some were registered original as passenger vehicles, some were trucks. Only the 150 was the true handyman though.

One of my ex-girlfriends' dads has a 57 Nomad. Almost had the chance to drive it, but the relationship went sour too quick. 4 wheel drum brakes aren't that appealing anyway (I kid). Yes, the later nomads are identifiable by the rear pillar, and were quite a bit different in body style, but I think the earlier ones are the nicer cars.

Either way, I'm pretty sure when new, Nomad or Handyman, 150 or 210 they were all sedan deliveries. Correct me if I'm wrong though. It is pretty late......

This is a place called Corvettes and classics around the corner from my house. That little hot rod is always there, obviously an employee. I'll try to get a pic of it and maybe some of the inside. They've got a lot of toys in there too.
