The most I have ever spent on a car. BY FAR
Now that's out of the way, let's get to the fun stuff. This 1955 Chevrolet Nomad was at a local towing auction and I just had to have it! I rolled the dice and won the auction.
This Nomad was the pride and joy of some old timer for 40 plus years. He made it his own over the years by collecting parts, changing trim and re-doing the interior to his tastes.
Ultimately the car sat in storage for many many years and the bill was not paid, so the car went up for auction. It's a bit of a sad story to see a guy lose his car BUT we are going to give it a great home!
How should we approach this build? Typically DD Speed Shop? Maybe try to preserve what's left? It's only time and money right?

This was a way Fun afternoon! What a unicorn find. Tom Cotter is right when he says that it’s still possible to find unique cars in your own back yard. Can’t wait to drive it next spring. You may not get it back.

No hood scoop hot rod mods on this sweet baby, just love, care, roof and hood debonking and Turtle Wax out of the original tin! The interior and electrical windows and seats are amazing - superb to see on a 1950’s dream machine. The blue and white colour scheme is so 1950s summer holiday ice cream flavour… Jeez she’s to lust over. Bridget Bardot never looked so good. 🥰

Anyway, after you fix everything on it, it'll most likely be worth a lot more than you paid for it. Thats a beautiful car with many trim options that I've never seen on any other 55. You've got a pretty damn special car there, and you deserve it. Can't wait to see what you do to it. Great acquisition.

I once had a 35 Chevrolet sedan body that had the roof totally jumped on and caved in. I took a floor jack with a 4 x 4 and a 16“ x 36“ piece of half-inch plywood up against the roof and slowly jacked it all up. It was amazing how easily it all popped back out. if you’re careful, yours should easily pop out real nice with a few taps along the crease. Without even hurting the paint. Try it when you get the seat out. Pull down that headliner and try it. Good luck. Smitty.

The love your showing for this car is fantastic. In 1973 my ex-wife and I were able to purchase a ‘56 Nomad in about the same condition yours is in. Watching you today brought back the excitement I felt. I kept that car for 17 years taking it from pillar to post and back again. When I finally sold it a part of my heart went with it too. In the end it landed with a guy I knew would take care of it and keep it nice.

Easy way to tell if it's an original 1955, 265 is to look down and see if it has a standard spin on oil filter. It it doesn't have an oil filter, it's a '55. If it was ordered with the oil filter option, it's a remote canister filter that hangs off the side like the old Stovebolt I6's. 1956 they cast in the oil filter boss on the SBC and it stayed there for ever after that. Great Find Man! and it's in good hands for sure!
@Zero-Fox-Garage
@Zero-Fox-Garage 8 месяцев назад
It has a spin on filter you could see when he was messing around underneath with the starter. Definitely a later block, and has some corporate GM blue on the block too. Might be a 305 with the powerpack heads bolted onto it...but we won't know til Dan runs the numbers on it. At any rate, not a 265.

Dan and Dani, I had a thought… Your new Nomad is so special, such a very beautiful survivor that she deserves something special. Once you have restored her mechanically could you take her on a road trip to Alberta and team up with my other favorite uber talented loonies at Cold War Motors? I would give my eye teeth to see the Master of master panel molders, melders and beaters help you to ease the bumps and creases out of the roof and hood of your glorious car. It would make such a terrific two hander bringing your two excellent channels together. This is not to knock your own growing panel bashing talent, but Scott simply works pure magic. Just a thought Dan, Scott Newson is such a talent that your Nomad could only be the winner.

If it truly just needs a patch panel for the floor, do a Fitzee style "cut and butt" and it will be more or less undetectable. A full floor pan will still have front, rear, and side blends to the original car that the car guys will recognize, and ask you just how bad the whole floor was. Keep the fix simple for a first rate refurbishment, almost a restoration. Now if the inner and outer rockers are more or less a mess, then maybe the full floor pan will have the bigger long term return. But like Danni says, if you take the whole interior out, it could be a big challenge to get it back together. I've seen you do it, so whatever you decide will work out. Good score, and best of luck!

Way to go, Dan!! That's gonna look sweet with the plow and that big hood scoop you have. Resist, if you can. Keep it stock. All those extra parts were quite a surprise and worth some money. These videos will be fun to watch, for sure. Cheers!! 😎

What a dream find of 55 goodness, well I guess you just had your once in a lifetime car find, very cool. Well worth keeping as stock looking as possible, now that is a power tour ride, now all your friends won't believe what you stumbled onto.

Congratulations. That's a score of a lifetime to get one that complete and in great condition. It needs some work but it's light-years ahead of 99% of them.

What a great rig. Can’t wait to see more on it. Know you have a few other projects going on but winter is long and have plenty of time to work on them all. Great buy. Definitely worth it
