Hot Wheels-Style Classic '55 Chevy Nomad with Flames in Orange

A bold diecast of the 1955 Chevrolet Nomad two-door wagon in glossy orange with hot-rod flame graphics. It has the Nomad's signature slanted rear pillars, ribbed roof, chrome-look grille and bumpers, and a raised stance on chunky wheels. It's most likely the Hot Wheels Classic Nomad casting, first released in 1970 and reissued many times since. It's palm-sized and a fun piece for hot-rod and Hot Wheels fans. It's in good condition with light play wear.

The Nomad started life as a dream car. General Motors stylist Harley Earl's team unveiled a Corvette-styled Nomad wagon concept at the 1954 Motorama show, and it proved so popular that Chevrolet put a version into production for 1955 on its full-size Bel Air, creating one of the most stylish wagons ever made.
