My all time favorite. Fell in love with the 56 Nomad when I put my first Revell model together.

@kemer1977 11 лет назад

The tri-five cars are by far my most favorite classics, and I just love wagons. So a tri-five nomad really gets me all giddy. This is one really sweet ride. Good job to the Overhaulin crew and you guys for preserving it as it sits. Just beautiful!

@22sojourner 4 года назад

They shipped this car down to El Cajon, Ca. to Gear Vendors (to have us install the O.D.). I couldn't believe how beautiful it was inside & out, but underneath too. All premium bolts including on the exhaust hangers. I was told "Overhaulin" & Jay Leno had worked on it. Surprise, here it is, I still dream about this beauty.

The happiest years for our family was when my father owned a 1955 Chevy Nomad station Wagon. Bliss for us as little kids was to step on the bumper, jump in the tailgate for a ride with the crank down window!

@whiteribbonman1 4 года назад

This Nomad is beautiful overall. I have a 1961 Chevrolet Apache 10 that my Grandfather drove. Its 235 Cubic Inch motor is not going anywhere. I will rebuild it to perform and change the remaining components of the drivetrain to perform as well. Jay, as with most of your episodes, Thank You for showcasing this man’s ride!

@Bobby-ns7gn 5 лет назад

Cool car !!! I've got a 57 hardtop myself. Got it back in 64, drove it and redid it starting, 11 years ago. Took me 10 years, could only afford so much a month, but, it came out nice and fantastic and BLACK !!

@SuperSenis 2 года назад

Thank you, Home Improvement, for making this car known to the younger generations.

@copout1405 4 года назад

What a beautiful Nomad. I was ten yrs old when this came out. Most of the 56's in my neighborhood were sedans. Thanks for the ride.

@FrldyZX87 Год назад

Unless Jay knows plenty of Dave's, then he's the one who saved Jay's life from his recent accident. Incredible friend!

@heyjude99 4 года назад

how the heck are they able to restore all the cars jay shows like they just rolled-off the assembley line back in-the-day. i mean like all the special metal on the trim,trunk lid, etc.... really amazing people/artists who can restore cars so well!!.

@pfflyers1 10 лет назад

Nomads look so cool in person. Much more so than in photos. As a kid growing up in the sixties here in SoCal these Nomads were highly coveted by all.

@sunzeneise 4 года назад

I have loved the styling of the Nomad since it first appeared, especially the sweeping rear side-window.

@wypadnadwode1622 10 лет назад

Masterpiece created by Chip, one of the most talented car visioners. And the sound of the engine... thanks again

@denisemshannon1 11 лет назад

Only two comments in over a year, that's because this car leaves everyone speechless. Simply amazing, well done

@chrisk8187 5 лет назад

My favorite vintage station wagon! Loved the Nomad style. The more stock look the better! It's The nostalgia thing! Thanks!

@gymover 6 лет назад

I'm 67, this car was around when I was a teen, not even 17, but even then I saw it a the coolest car ever then, thank you for reminding me of this, now that i remember again at 67!

This color scheme is exactly what I had on my56 Nomad in ‘89 when I had it built I. Shreveport. I drove it to work and fun until 2015 after my wife passed. Garnet Red and GM Beige. Looked like a strawberry going down the road I had Wheel Vintiques rims with BF Goodrich tires. It would go anywhere. I regularly drove it to Houston and Dallas Jays’ comment that all the ‘50s cars were the same doesn’t do. He wants a big block and I had an old 327 that we cleaned up at the local car wash before putting new bearings, rings and even pistons in. We got an Edelbrock manifold, a Carter Black Knight carb and I drove it for 40+ years. Happy is subjective. I miss the car and the rides my wife and I had in it but it was fun going to work or to the kids soccer games. When I sold it the carpets were dirty, some of the stainless was scratched up and the paint had chips and nicks. There was no rust and it took its new owner to Arizona from Shreveport with hardly any trouble. There is Nothing like the Nomad until you start talking about the Grand National.

@mortishastyles1345 4 года назад

I'm in love with it.A boy 16 when I was 16 boughtca 56 nomad for $325 in 1971 he restoroded it himself while in highschool with a 409. He still has it and it is still beautiful

@bandccoresohio 4 года назад

Did he show you the back seat???

@sassulusmagnus 4 года назад

We had a metallic grey one of these that my father bought used in 1961. My parents would put a mattress in the back and the three of us kids would sleep there on the way up north to the family cottage on a Friday night. Memories.

@chriserz94 9 лет назад

I had the honor of seeing one of these almost everyday in the summer days growing up as a kid in the early 2000's , haven't seen it for years now and honestly thought it was so much cooler than the Belairs , miss seeing that old beast , it was even that nice torquoise/white combo!

@gregbliss1914 12 лет назад

what a complete and gorgeous restoration...

@richtygart6855 Год назад

Ever since I had a Nomad Stomper 4x4 toy in the 80s I've loved them.

@jlloyd2004mcs 7 лет назад

I was hoping that the overhaulin footage would include the unveiling. The thing that sticks out the most was when Dave was walking over to the car he said, "oh wow...donuts!" I thought that was friggin hilarious.

@VitalityMassage 3 года назад

A BIG GUT helps to SUPPORT a mechanic when leaning over the fenders. It's sort of like "more cushion for the pushin."

@brianjoyce9742 5 лет назад

Only one phrase to say over and over, Jay, you are the MAN

@StingrayLS7 10 лет назад

I love Jay Leno garage, he has a good mix of laughter and great car projects he's a very talented man in front of the camera keeps me in stiches. I'm also a car guy got a couple of corvette I'v seen most of his car shows keep them coming . '

@Army181st 10 лет назад

I fondly remember being 16 and seeing twin nomads in my uncle and aunts drive way that summer, hers was just like this one gorgeous red flake and my uncles a deep purple and white , loved those cars and seeing this one brought a tear to my remembering that summer best summer of my life .

@terrymorton8014 10 лет назад

The neighbors across the street from us when I was growing up had one in their driveway and we had a 1957 Chevy station wagon in ours. I still see those around today even the same color. Love all the chrome and detail.

@dougreed9843 2 года назад

That is a real beauty, I remember that Overhauling show it was the best one in true Jay Leno fashion the prankster great to see it do a burn out too..

@mjm33mjm 11 лет назад

I love the two door Nomads... always been a 'Wagon' guy, but never have been able to afford one of these. Ah, some day, some day.

@Drasiera 5 лет назад

Really nice car. Does anyone remember the TV series Home Improvement? Jill also had such a nice red nomad. When Tim dropped a giant steel girder on the Nomad in an episode, I was so stunned. The car was so sorry for me.

@DougCameraMan 11 лет назад

The wheels sure don't have much clearance. I like the car but I think I'd want some more traditional wheels and tires on it if it was mine. I've studied the '55, '56 and '57 Nomads and they are all awesome and unique in their own style, but my personal favorite is the '55.

@dyer2cycle Год назад

Wheels are way too big, ruin the otherwise beautiful looks of the car...

@RockstarBruski 3 года назад

I've always loved the look of the nomad wagon. In the 70s my cousin used to have a back Nomad with wheelie bars in the back. So cool.

@rickdee67 Год назад

Little smoke out the tailpipes. Love this car!

@uski59 8 лет назад

chevy nomads & panel wagons were just a great style of car

@crunchymexican2910 7 лет назад

Especially the panel versions. Hard to find.

@Sweetjamesjones520 2 года назад

Thanks for everything you do, I was born in 1986 and I knew who you were by 1992 and I knew you as the car guy I could watch if I was sick and up late lol! But the inspiration you gave me and the builds I’ve done I attribute to older car guys like you! Thx

@Robert-mn8gc Год назад

G'day Jay l have watched the re runs of Chip & his team when they created this beautifull beast on Overhaul 'in . My all time favourite Station Wagon of all time . This car was a rust bucket . Would ❤️ love one down here in Australia. Drop a 6 speed auto in it & get the revs down below 2000 rpm . Thx 4 sharing . The owner is a really decent bloke & well deserving of this build

@41magfan 4 года назад

I've watched this video at least 5 time's, never gets old. What a beautiful car 😊

@mopar7010 8 лет назад

@ranchwagonforde9780 9 лет назад

Dave: "I'm doing good, we have the same tailor," Leno: "Yeah that's what it is that's right. Obviously not the same chef," Hahaha good banter.

@alexstewart839 4 года назад

I took a poll at a fat men meeting and we all agreed, that's a solid line. Much respect.

@fatboy19831 11 лет назад

The interior looks amazing i wish you showed more.

@mauriceclemens3286 4 года назад

Anything Chip Foose is involved with will be amazing!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@dennismarvin9143 Год назад

You can see the comic in Jay.. when he said to the comment "same tailor ...obviously not the same chef" so funny

@johnsmithth3318 2 года назад

My dad had a 55. I was just a kid watching him change the motor out. We used to load up all us kids and mom, head to the drive in

@30smsuperstrat 4 года назад

Love to see this after some stockish wheels and better converter! Has Leno's garage ever had a drag racing episode? Would love to see some of the cars at a drag strip grudge matching!?!?!

@eisenjeisen6262 7 лет назад

Jay Leno you are a riot, i like the chrome, and in 56 i had a 51 black ford convertible which took me to LA, and a stop over in Vegas and met some friends at the Sands and bunked into Frank Sinatra and on my honeymoon.and he gave my bride a big eye.

@chopedandsectioned 11 лет назад

if i had a car stored in jays garage he would be more than welcome to drive it whenever he pleased

@herdfan697278 4 года назад

Learned to drive in a 1956 BelAir two door post with three on the tree! They were so beautiful!

@albertvelasquez7089 8 месяцев назад

I bought a nomad years a go,couldnt find an old woody now i got both😊

@artmanjohn2 3 года назад

We had a 56 green and white Chevy Nomad when I was a kid, I was born in late 1949, my dad ended up hating this car, being the aeronautical engineer he was, he said the car was extremely dangerous because the brakes would heat up and cause them to fail pretty easily! He actually ended up selling the car for this very reason! In his later years I would joke with him that the car he hated so much was worth more money than some homes! Got a few weird looks on that one! I always loved Nomads - 55, 56 or 57, I'd take either one! The 1958 Nomad just doesn't do for me, they kind of look like a hearse to me and I love 58 Impalas! Just doesn't have the lines.

@synthetic509 9 лет назад

Ah, I knew during the opening burnout that this was the "overhaulin'" Nomad. Can't forget such a bad ass '56 like this....

@gregpohl412 3 года назад

Wow! Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!

@mrcokez1 12 лет назад

beautiful gorgeous car...they dont make them the same anymore.

@geosutube 4 года назад

This is one of the coolest Chevys ever. I was just a kid when it came out, and I fell in love with it on the spot. If I had the bucks, I’d be driving one today.

@lovemetalhatejuggalo 10 лет назад

what a beautiful car...love the 50s era designs

@leegoddard2618 2 года назад

I think Jay just wanted to take this one for a drive. 😜👍

@keithlane4343 3 года назад

Sweet Nomad. Needs the hood ornament, and the rest of the hood V emblem, but those are two great two tone colors. Could benefit from polished slotted aluminum wheels to complete the look, and make keeping those wheels perfect on a daily driven classic hot rod. Beautiful car.

@conniewojahn6445 10 месяцев назад

Gorgeous! Well done!

@causwayspeedway 11 лет назад

Dave Killackey,your car is OUTSTANDING in 7 days!!! History will remember this car, your car is so right-ON!!! Classic arm out the window car....so right...so cool !!! t

@srussert28 8 лет назад

When they open the door there is a squeak. I find it amazing that squeak is the same for grandmas original sitting in the junkyard up to this level. I was just at Home Dept yesterday...A guy drove in the parking lot with a 55 nomad.

@MrTay675 9 лет назад

JL garage, awesome episode! Please show more restomods!

@KennyzKilla 12 лет назад

i'm so envious of you jay! i'd give anything for the greatest car collection in the world

@Timmy6216 12 лет назад

i saw over hauling when they did this car, i fell in love with it and would pay a hefty price to drive it lol beautiful beautiful car

@carkenny2 9 лет назад

OMG! Cars just don't get any better looking than the Nomad. I would't care if it was a 6 banger, that could never do a burn out in a million years. Just such a fabulously perfect timeless automotive design. Automotive art. Art on the level of Picasso and Rembrandt.

@larrycrawford7240 5 лет назад

You have some beautiful classic cars, my favorite is your 63 ford falcon sprint. To me its one of your finest.

@kimhorton6109 6 лет назад

His car looks a LOT like mine. It was a '56 on a '55 frame but the color scheme was about like that one: Garnet Red and Pickup white, Chevy colors. I had it built in'89, sold it in 2016. The '56 is so darn nice looking.

@lillybloomquest9256 5 лет назад

Now that’s what I remember in HS. Loved the 56 Chevy!!!

@steveanderson7758 4 года назад

A friend of mine bought one of these in the '80's. The first time he went to the gas station he couldn't find the filler tube. He called people and asked people at the station. After about an hour someone showed him it was behind the left tail light.

I really like restomods. Especially when using less popular cars, though I really like this Nomad.

@mauriceclemens3286 4 года назад

Gorgeous automobile! I’d love to have a car like this.👍🏻👍🏻

@donandnanelmore8278 7 лет назад

I sounded like both the doors squeaked. My body shop turned me onto Slick 50 lube. I had known about the old Slick 50 engine additive, but had never seen their lube before. My Ram 3500 had a door squeak and I complained to the dealer that an oil change was supposed to be a lube job and they should LUBE the doors too. Their lube wouldn't stop the noise. I tried grease and various lubes too no avail. Finally, I tried Slick 50 on a little vertical axle (?) on the door restraint mechanism. It worked great and lasts for weeks to months before needed another shot. I went back to the dealer and showed them how to lube the doors.

@Lord_KillerBee 2 года назад

I remember watching this one Velocity, now MotorTrend, in a rerun of it and was certainly fun watching. Although those wheels aren't my favorite choice and would've changed them to something different, possibly some American racing wheels or a better looking wheel for this cool car.

@propdoctor21564 10 лет назад

Great car !! Like the fact it's being driven

@codyburns8050 5 лет назад

I can’t believe this is the same nomad! I saw the overhall episode years ago and loved it!

@Blackw0lff 3 года назад

I live in Northern California and for over 30 years, I have passed a 56 nomad on my way to work every morning. It's been sitting in the grassy area of an apartment complex, under some tarps, collecting leaves and dirt for 3 decades. In 30 years, it has never been moved or washed. It's sad to see. I don't think anyone knows who it belong to anymore

@billwoodrome3882 4 года назад

Gorgeous!

@fatjeezussouthtexasoutdoor5244 4 года назад

I had a '56 Ford Ranch Wagon running project but traded it for a restomodded '61 Ford 1/2ton pickup. The wagon sure had a nice body but the truck was very dependable and a great work truck.
