... > This car's been around our area for a few years. Actually the one in our area that resembles the one in the middle in your B&W pic is not the genuine article --- only a wannabe. It is a heavily modified '55 or '56 full size car (not a Corvette), possibly but not necessarily a Nomad originally. We've both seen it many times. Frankly I've stopped looking at it when I see it because the guy never quite finishes it. It's in a perpetual state of incompletion and pretty tacky under close inspection. I assume there is or was a source for a kit to do the mods because I've seen a few. Mostly in pictures. -- Pat Durkin |

I held back saying anything when I saw the pics but I couldn't believe
someone would take an actual one-off car and add a third brake light and CD player, windsheild wiper switch and cupholders. There was a black one here in the Pacific Northwest for a while.

technologygroup... > Worth what one will pay for a kit car, > www.corvettenomad.com My god that guy went to a lot of work. Sure had a nice result. Well apparently his wasn't a kit job. I can't imagine several other people around the country simultaneously undertaking the same conversion independently but if there's no kit available that's the only explanation for the existence of several existing versions of the same thing. -- Pat Durkin |
