The Nomad is best remembered in its two-door 1955-57 form, and was considered a halo model during its three-year production. The Nomad’s unique design had its roots in a GM Motorama in 1954 as one of Harley Earl’s “dream cars.” GM approved production of the vehicle if the design could be transferred to its standard model. The 1957 V-8 engine displacement grew to 283 cubic inches from 265 in 1957, with the “Super Turbo Fire V8” option, producing 283 horsepower with the help of continuous fuel injection. These so-called “fuelie” cars are quite rare. While considered to be a milestone vehicle design, General Motors discontinued the original Nomad Sport Wagon at the end of the 1957 model year due to low sales and the introduction of a new body for 1958..
