My big block 64 Polara I raced on the street for years, good for high 11s on motor and a wee bit faster on the bottle.............:wink:.............Tom.
I'm confused... both of those look like Nomads to me. I know that many people call the wagons a Nomad, but the difference is that the wagons have straight up and down window pillars, Nomads have them slanted and have the chrome strips over the roof. Also, on 55 only, the rear wheel openings are rounded and look kinda like they were cut out like was done in the gasser days. All the other 55s had the small squared openings. 56 and 57 Nomads have the same wheelwell openings as all other 56 and 57 models.
Nomads are 2 door. Regular wagons were available in 2 and 4 door versions which further confuse things.
Funny thing he Nomad subject: On Fast & Loud they built a 56 Nomad for Dale Jrand during their intro talking up the Nomad, they first show a Corvette Factory showcar that's well known and has a nomad wagon type top on it. They they go into a vintage clip of a family pulling into their driveway with a wagon...straight posts and all. never did show an actual Nomad in their little segment.
Thanks Tom. I can't any credit for this car, other than finding it. I have original documentation from when it was purchased in SanFrancisco. I have most of the buildsheet, certicard, and every receipt from new.
Here is a shot of the interior and engine. The only non original parts are the positive battery cable, windshield washer resevoir, electronic ignition, stereo, and front disc conversion. I need to reglue the carpet. On it's third paint job.
Original 440 Magnum Engine at .010 over. Does great burnouts, but too low geared for a highway car. 393 sure grip. Original AC works.
On the road, I have a 1971 Maverick Grabber with 53K original miles and a 1973 Maverick (a go-fast toy). I also have other Maverick projects and a 1965 Galaxie 500.
Always makes me think of the punk band the circle jerks-wild in the street's lyrics:
" '64 valiant,hand full of valiums, couple of beers really do me right"
still have the album, just no record player to spin it on:doah:
I dont recall ever having any old Chrysler/plymouth cars, or at least ones I care to remember :laugh: I redid a Volvo many years ago, 1967 122s amazon
didn't even think when I picked the color, started to laying it down and suddenly realized I had just turned it into a taxi :facepalm:
I have a 67 Mercury Cougar XR-7 with a Boss 302/ c4, shift kit...also working on a 67 Ford Falcon 4-door, straight 6, all original 3rd owner with all original paperwork for my soon, Both cars have the original Black Cali Plates on both...
I have this old "hoopty" '69 Camaro that is middle of the road...I say that 'cause every car show I go to, someone has to tell me how their sisters boyfriends cousin has a boyfriend who's aunt had one just like this back in '65!
In Cali we have to buy pre 1973, cause the smog police will get ya if ya don't. Old cars are more fun! Stick with the oldies!
1965 2+2 Mustang with original 289 HIPO (K block)... I drove it to my high school graduation in 1971 then to my 25'th year class reunion where everyone was talking about the cars they "had" in high school.....
