54 Nomad
In 1954 Chevrolet displayed the Nomad prototype. This was basically a 54 Corvette with the Nomad back. Because of its popularity Chevy rushed to get the Nomad to the market choosing to use the new 55-style body instead of the Corvette. These 2-Door Nomads from 55-57 (and their Pontiac Safari counterparts) were a nice twist of style and sport on the wagon frame and are some of the most desirable wagons by today's collectors.Objects in the mirror are losing

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Not every concept car is killed off the production line. The orinional nomad was killed, the toranado wasnt modified much, the javilin wasnt modified much, the delorian had an engine swap, but otherwise was unchanged, the lesabre wasnt changed, even if the power roof did suck, the new marauder diddnt change except for the 5.4 to 4.6 swap. Granted, it wasnt the greatest performer, but the ideas there. Im just hoping for the nomad, the SS and the Jeep concept. The big one, not the little gay one. I hope the front of the corvette DOES change, and I hope ford makes the mustang more powerfull. Sorry, Im rambiling.Right engine, Wrong Wheels

Edsel Roundup
I've always liked the weird stuff. I like the Edsel wagons, especially the 2-dr wagon.
