My all time favorite. Fell in love with the 56 Nomad when I put my first Revell model together.
This Nomad is beautiful overall. I have a 1961 Chevrolet Apache 10 that my Grandfather drove. Its 235 Cubic Inch motor is not going anywhere. I will rebuild it to perform and change the remaining components of the drivetrain to perform as well. Jay, as with most of your episodes, Thank You for showcasing this man’s ride!
Cool car !!! I've got a 57 hardtop myself. Got it back in 64, drove it and redid it starting, 11 years ago. Took me 10 years, could only afford so much a month, but, it came out nice and fantastic and BLACK !!
The happiest years for our family was when my father owned a 1955 Chevy Nomad station Wagon. Bliss for us as little kids was to step on the bumper, jump in the tailgate for a ride with the crank down window!
They shipped this car down to El Cajon, Ca. to Gear Vendors (to have us install the O.D.).
I couldn't believe how beautiful it was inside & out, but underneath too. All premium bolts including on the exhaust hangers. I was told "Overhaulin" & Jay Leno had worked on it.
Surprise, here it is, I still dream about this beauty.
The tri-five cars are by far my most favorite classics, and I just love wagons. So a tri-five nomad really gets me all giddy. This is one really sweet ride. Good job to the Overhaulin crew and you guys for preserving it as it sits. Just beautiful!
What a beautiful Nomad. I was ten yrs old when this came out. Most of the 56's in my neighborhood were sedans. Thanks for the ride.
Unless Jay knows plenty of Dave's, then he's the one who saved Jay's life from his recent accident. Incredible friend!
Nomads look so cool in person. Much more so than in photos. As a kid growing up in the sixties here in SoCal these Nomads were highly coveted by all.
Thank you, Home Improvement, for making this car known to the younger generations.
I have loved the styling of the Nomad since it first appeared, especially the sweeping rear side-window.
Masterpiece created by Chip, one of the most talented car visioners. And the sound of the engine... thanks again
I'm in love with it.A boy 16 when I was 16 boughtca 56 nomad for $325 in 1971 he restoroded it himself while in highschool with a 409. He still has it and it is still beautiful
Did he show you the back seat???
The wheels sure don't have much clearance. I like the car but I think I'd want some more traditional wheels and tires on it if it was mine. I've studied the '55, '56 and '57 Nomads and they are all awesome and unique in their own style, but my personal favorite is the '55.
Wheels are way too big, ruin the otherwise beautiful looks of the car...
My favorite vintage station wagon!
Loved the Nomad style.
The more stock look the better!
It's The nostalgia thing! Thanks!
We had a metallic grey one of these that my father bought used in 1961. My parents would put a mattress in the back and the three of us kids would sleep there on the way up north to the family cottage on a Friday night. Memories.
This color scheme is exactly what I had on my56 Nomad in ‘89 when I had it built I. Shreveport. I drove it to work and fun until 2015 after my wife passed. Garnet Red and GM Beige. Looked like a strawberry going down the road
I had Wheel Vintiques rims with BF Goodrich tires. It would go anywhere. I regularly drove it to Houston and Dallas
Jays’ comment that all the ‘50s cars were the same doesn’t do. He wants a big block and I had an old 327 that we cleaned up at the local car wash before putting new bearings, rings and even pistons in. We got an Edelbrock manifold, a Carter Black Knight carb and I drove it for 40+ years. Happy is subjective. I miss the car and the rides my wife and I had in it but it was fun going to work or to the kids soccer games. When I sold it the carpets were dirty, some of the stainless was scratched up and the paint had chips and nicks. There was no rust and it took its new owner to Arizona from Shreveport with hardly any trouble. There is Nothing like the Nomad until you start talking about the Grand National.
I'm 67, this car was around when I was a teen, not even 17, but even then I saw it a the coolest car ever then, thank you for reminding me of this, now that i remember again at 67!
Only two comments in over a year, that's because this car leaves everyone speechless. Simply amazing, well done
chevy nomads & panel wagons were just a great style of car
Especially the panel versions. Hard to find.
Dave: "I'm doing good, we have the same tailor,"
Leno: "Yeah that's what it is that's right. Obviously not the same chef,"
Hahaha good banter.
I took a poll at a fat men meeting and we all agreed, that's a solid line. Much respect.
A BIG GUT helps to SUPPORT a mechanic when leaning over the fenders. It's sort of like "more cushion for the pushin."
I love the two door Nomads... always been a 'Wagon' guy, but never have been able to afford one of these. Ah, some day, some day.
I had the honor of seeing one of these almost everyday in the summer days growing up as a kid in the early 2000's , haven't seen it for years now and honestly thought it was so much cooler than the Belairs , miss seeing that old beast , it was even that nice torquoise/white combo!
I was hoping that the overhaulin footage would include the unveiling. The thing that sticks out the most was when Dave was walking over to the car he said, "oh wow...donuts!" I thought that was friggin hilarious.
Really nice car. Does anyone remember the TV series Home Improvement? Jill also had such a nice red nomad. When Tim dropped a giant steel girder on the Nomad in an episode, I was so stunned. The car was so sorry for me.
I've always loved the look of the nomad wagon. In the 70s my cousin used to have a back Nomad with wheelie bars in the back. So cool.
I love Jay Leno garage, he has a good mix of laughter and great car projects he's a very talented man in front of the camera keeps me in stiches. I'm also a car guy got a couple of corvette I'v seen most of his car shows keep them coming . '
what a complete and gorgeous restoration...
Ever since I had a Nomad Stomper 4x4 toy in the 80s I've loved them.
The neighbors across the street from us when I was growing up had one in their driveway and we had a 1957 Chevy station wagon in ours. I still see those around today even the same color. Love all the chrome and detail.
Thanks for everything you do, I was born in 1986 and I knew who you were by 1992 and I knew you as the car guy I could watch if I was sick and up late lol! But the inspiration you gave me and the builds I’ve done I attribute to older car guys like you! Thx
I fondly remember being 16 and seeing twin nomads in my uncle and aunts drive way that summer, hers was just like this one gorgeous red flake and my uncles a deep purple and white , loved those cars and seeing this one brought a tear to my remembering that summer best summer of my life .
Very nice job! Agree with Jay about the rims though.
Quesigan trabajando en lo que sabena laser grasias
Only one phrase to say over and over, Jay, you are the MAN
how the heck are they able to restore all the cars jay shows like they just rolled-off the assembley line back in-the-day. i mean like all the special metal on the trim,trunk lid, etc.... really amazing people/artists who can restore cars so well!!.
Ah, I knew during the opening burnout that this was the "overhaulin'" Nomad. Can't forget such a bad ass '56 like this....
Anything Chip Foose is involved with will be amazing!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I've watched this video at least 5 time's, never gets old. What a beautiful car 😊
What an awesome intro to a great story, thanks for sharing Jay!
That is a real beauty, I remember that Overhauling show it was the best one in true Jay Leno fashion the prankster great to see it do a burn out too..
Favorite car of all time. Beautiful design.
Awesome Nomad, thanks for the video as always, Jay!
This is one of the coolest Chevys ever. I was just a kid when it came out, and I fell in love with it on the spot. If I had the bucks, I’d be driving one today.
We had a 56 green and white Chevy Nomad when I was a kid, I was born in late 1949, my dad ended up hating this car, being the aeronautical engineer he was, he said the car was extremely dangerous because the brakes would heat up and cause them to fail pretty easily! He actually ended up selling the car for this very reason! In his later years I would joke with him that the car he hated so much was worth more money than some homes! Got a few weird looks on that one! I always loved Nomads - 55, 56 or 57, I'd take either one! The 1958 Nomad just doesn't do for me, they kind of look like a hearse to me and I love 58 Impalas! Just doesn't have the lines.
The interior looks amazing i wish you showed more.
Little smoke out the tailpipes. Love this car!
Not been a fan of the nomad... untill now , it's gnarly as hell like all 56 are!!!.❤️🇺🇸😎
G'day Jay l have watched the re runs of Chip & his team when they created this beautifull beast on Overhaul 'in .
My all time favourite Station Wagon of all time . This car was a rust bucket .
Would ❤️ love one down here in Australia. Drop a 6 speed auto in it & get the revs down below 2000 rpm .
Thx 4 sharing . The owner is a really decent bloke & well deserving of this build
my all time dream car - and jays got a beauty
A friend of mine bought one of these in the '80's. The first time he went to the gas station he couldn't find the filler tube. He called people and asked people at the station.
After about an hour someone showed him it was behind the left tail light.
LOVE THE CLASSIC CARS BACK IN THE 1950'S --
WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER - WOW - WISH I WAS YOUNG AGAIN :O
Wish you "were" young again.
what a beautiful car...love the 50s era designs
You can see the comic in Jay.. when he said to the comment "same tailor ...obviously not the same chef" so funny
Dave Killackey,your car is OUTSTANDING in 7 days!!! History will remember this car, your car is so right-ON!!! Classic arm out the window car....so right...so cool !!!
t
Love to see this after some stockish wheels and better converter! Has Leno's garage ever had a drag racing episode? Would love to see some of the cars at a drag strip grudge matching!?!?!
OMG! Cars just don't get any better looking than the Nomad. I would't care if it was a 6 banger, that could never do a burn out in a million years. Just such a fabulously perfect timeless automotive design. Automotive art. Art on the level of Picasso and Rembrandt.
You have some beautiful classic cars, my favorite is your 63 ford falcon sprint. To me its one of your finest.
Learned to drive in a 1956 BelAir two door post with three on the tree! They were so beautiful!
beautiful gorgeous car...they dont make them the same anymore.
JL garage, awesome episode! Please show more restomods!
Sweet Nomad. Needs the hood ornament, and the rest of the hood V emblem, but those are two great two tone colors.
Could benefit from polished slotted aluminum wheels to complete the look, and make keeping those wheels perfect on a daily driven classic hot rod.
Beautiful car.
Hate when these large rims are put on these olders cars
yeah they look stupid
They look absolutely horrible.
Yup. That was my first thought. It ruins any otherwise STUNNING classic car.
Well it's not completely ruined as one can always put stock wheels back on.
Unfortunately having big power, I'd rather have bigger brakes for safety but I agree they don't look as impressive.
When they open the door there is a squeak. I find it amazing that squeak is the same for grandmas original sitting in the junkyard up to this level.
I was just at Home Dept yesterday...A guy drove in the parking lot with a 55 nomad.
i saw over hauling when they did this car, i fell in love with it and would pay a hefty price to drive it lol
beautiful beautiful car
My dad had a 55. I was just a kid watching him change the motor out. We used to load up all us kids and mom, head to the drive in
I remember crying when home improvement crushed Jill's nomad😭
You and me both!
Fortunately, it was swapped for a standard wagon for the crushing, but still, to crush any tri five is sad.
His car looks a LOT like mine. It was a '56 on a '55 frame but the color scheme was about like that one: Garnet Red and Pickup white, Chevy colors. I had it built in'89, sold it in 2016. The '56 is so darn nice looking.
Now that’s what I remember in HS. Loved the 56 Chevy!!!
Jay Leno you are a riot, i like the chrome, and in 56 i had a 51 black ford convertible which took me to LA, and a stop over in Vegas and met some friends at the Sands and bunked into Frank Sinatra and on my honeymoon.and he gave my bride a big eye.
Thanks for posting.
I sounded like both the doors squeaked. My body shop turned me onto Slick 50 lube. I had known about the old Slick 50 engine additive, but had never seen their lube before. My Ram 3500 had a door squeak and I complained to the dealer that an oil change was supposed to be a lube job and they should LUBE the doors too. Their lube wouldn't stop the noise. I tried grease and various lubes too no avail. Finally, I tried Slick 50 on a little vertical axle (?) on the door restraint mechanism. It worked great and lasts for weeks to months before needed another shot. I went back to the dealer and showed them how to lube the doors.
i'm so envious of you jay! i'd give anything for the greatest car collection in the world
I really like restomods. Especially when using less popular cars, though I really like this Nomad.
Gorgeous automobile! I’d love to have a car like this.👍🏻👍🏻
Nice car Jay very nice . My favorite year. I have a friend who has a 55 Nomad he is restoring.
I can’t believe this is the same nomad! I saw the overhall episode years ago and loved it!
Wow! Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!
I remember watching this one Velocity, now MotorTrend, in a rerun of it and was certainly fun watching. Although those wheels aren't my favorite choice and would've changed them to something different, possibly some American racing wheels or a better looking wheel for this cool car.
I had a '56 Ford Ranch Wagon running project but traded it for a restomodded '61 Ford 1/2ton pickup. The wagon sure had a nice body but the truck was very dependable and a great work truck.
if i had a car stored in jays garage he would be more than welcome to drive it whenever he pleased
Beautiful car, just beautiful sounds great too..
I think Jay just wanted to take this one for a drive. 😜👍
I bought a nomad years a go,couldnt find an old woody now i got both😊
I live in Northern California and for over 30 years, I have passed a 56 nomad on my way to work every morning. It's been sitting in the grassy area of an apartment complex, under some tarps, collecting leaves and dirt for 3 decades. In 30 years, it has never been moved or washed. It's sad to see. I don't think anyone knows who it belong to anymore
Gorgeous! Well done!
Great car !! Like the fact it's being driven
Jay I live your channel it gives me joy you showing all these cars I love so much and Nomads are am old favorite
My first model car was a Revell 57' Nomad. I just love 'em.
this is hands down my favorite youtube channel
55/56/57 Nomad is flat out the best looking vehicle ever created, imho
I'm very lucky to have one lol
'56 for sure... best looking Chevys ever. I've wanted a '56 Nomad since my high school days in the '60's. The classiest ride in ''Surf City".
The Tri-Five Chevys are some of the best looking cars ever designed, no doubt.
No doubt....
57 Chevy Bel Air was best looking car..unless its the Split window Corvette. Or 67 Mustang..or..
I knew I'd seen this car before, and now I remember seeing Dave at the reveal.
I'm enjoying Jay's Garage very much, and appreciate that Jay has taken time to make these videos for us car guys! I especially like when he's talking about 50's-70's American cars. But, I must correct Jay about what he said about the 56-57 Chevy sales versus Ford. At about 9:30, he said the 55-57 Chevys "were not that big a sellers", and that the 56-57 Fords outsold Chevy by a 3 or 4 to 1 margin. But, he was very mistaken. Chevy outsold Ford in 1956, as they had done for 20 years. Ford did finally outsell Chevy in 1957. But it wasn't by a 3 or 4 to 1 margin. It was by about 6%. And that was because the Ford was an entirely new car for 57, while the 57 Chevy, even though having an extensive facelift, was still a warmed-over 55-56. Also Plymouth started coming on strong with their new "Forward Look", spreading the sales around more than usual. So, the 57 Chevy still made it a close race for #1 in sales, considering it was a 3rd year design from the original 55, against some tough brand new competition. So, there were still plenty of 57 Chevys built( over 1.5 million), and a lot of those still survive today. Not that I dislike 57 Fords, but not nearly as many of them have survived. I hope Jay will be able to do more episodes with American cars from the 50's-60's and even the 70's (think TA's!) Thanks! Steve
Love that dark red. Beautiful car
Awesome update on the Nomad from Overhauling... Really curious on just what really needed "finishing" after they presented it back to him.
Don't get me wrong, I liked the show and what they did, and obviously Chip's talents are second to none... But I'm a realistic person... Lol
1966 I was behind one of these & he put it on her rear wheels for about 1 block. Its was a awesome looking car
thanks guys...56 chevy is my favorite car of the 50's
What a beautiful car!!
Thanks for doing you re show it’s good you are a car guy!!!
8:14 you can't stop gas from going bad if you don't keep it air tight. Gas will evaporate no matter what you put in it.
