I agree Steve. That's why I'm thinking this is just some kind of from scratch custom job. If this were done to a real Nomad, it's sacrilegious. Maybe it could have been a basket case build. T, any details.

I hate everything about it! Some cars shouldn’t be tampered with, and the ‘55-‘57 Nomads are in that category, IMO !
It's interest work, but I agree, the Nomad was a special edition car from the beginning. I hope Gene is right, that they did this from scratch. One thing about this custom that confuses me though is the theme looks to be a "sweptback", with smooth/aero-cued appearance, yet the B-pillar and back wraparound glass were left sweeping forward. Doesn't look bad, just a bit odd at first glance.
The front-end is bascally 'stock' and I like the color-combo - otherwise .... no-go.
I know that some mfg's are making steel and-or fiberglass copies of tri-5s. Hopefully, 'that' was the starting point for 'this one'. Some classics should not be altered to this extent.
Relax guys lol! Its a 2000 Corvette frame, floor and chassis. All panels are either scratch made or from salvage yard finds has a 454 fuel injected engine under the hood.
