This 1957 Chevy Nomad, a true California car.  This is in better condition than the ones currently listed on Ebay that need to be restored.  The Nomad was originally built Los Angles, Ca and has spent most of it's life in a barn in Fresno, Ca.  A pretty good climate area for cars, unlike the East Coast.  I will do my best to describe the car and please feel free to ask any questions or please call me at anytime if you want to see or drive the Nomad.  I had purchased this Nomad to drive it as a rat rod or just leave it in this unique patina look, however she is craving to be restored and I just don't have the money to restore this car the way she deserves to be restored.    


The engine is a running 283 motor with an exhaust system under the car and it sounds pretty good.  It does have a 4 speed transmission with a Fenton Shifter.  

The interior is intact, however it will need complete upholstery.  The front seats, the rear seats and the headliner is still intact.  The headliner, the bottom of the rear seat and the door panels were possibly originally green and have a really cool embroidered floral design.  I believe the original interior could have been this unique dark green.  All of the molding and trim pieces for the interior are intact and will come with the car.  However, if will need to be restored.    

The body itself is in really good shape.  The only rust spot I could see in the car is a small quarter sized spot in the spare tire housing in the trunk. The driver side door will need some work or a new door skin however, it lines up nicely with the rest of the car.  The floors are in great shape as well as the rocker panels and fenders.  The roof lines look great and there is no rust on the roof either.  There is just some surface rust throughout the car, however nothing major.  I have all of the trim pieces, including the bumper bullets, front grill pieces, and every piece of trim that is needed.  The car will need four new tires.  Also all of the glass is in great shape.  The only glass that will need to be replaced will be the rear slider flat glass on the passenger side and the driver side door flat glass.  Otherwise the rest of the glass including the windshield and rear glass is very clean and not aged.  

The tailgate and rear glass opens very smoothly and locks in three different positions.  The curved glass is also in great shape.  

You can drive the car as it is or completely restore it.  The car does come with a clean pink slip with no back fees and two black California plates.  The car has not been registered in a long time and is no longer in DMV systems.  Also, I do have the car listed locally for sale and I do reserve the right to end the auction if the car sells sooner.  However, please feel free to call me at 916-262-6971 at anytime.  I would like to get you all of the information before you buy.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
