This show-stopping ’56 Nomad sees lots of miles, and family smiles!

Story and photography by owner Curtis Hawk #23301155, Bloomington, IL

In 2007, I purchased a 1956 Nomad from a friend’s wife after he had passed away. In 1968, my friend had stripped the car down and let it sit in his home garage with the intention of someday restoring it. He had traveled around each year, purchasing old original Nomad parts from the dealerships– when they were still available that is. I had been hoping to find an old Chevy truck to restore, and then I heard about this car.
