Chevrolet designers conceived the Nomad station wagon as an upscale, suburban utility vehicle. Introduced in 1955, the Nomad was admired for its looks, but was expensive compared to other Chevrolets. While the name lived on for several years in lower-priced Chevrolet station wagons, the last Nomad built in original configuration was constructed in 1957. Considered too rare and valuable to use for utilitarian purposes toady, Nomads during the mid-1950s were regularly put into service towing trailers and hauling heavy loads.
