On "My Car Story" we're in the Western Suburbs of Chicago IL on 12-13-21.
We're looking at a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad in Matador Red Paint. The car comes with the factory 283 CI V8 engine, and an automatic transmission.
The car's Owner is John. John’s had this car since 2019. He shares he needed this car to complete his lineup of 1957 Chevrolets. As you can see, this one looks like it came from the Dealership Showroom.
ENJOY!
The last of the Tri-Five shoeboxes. This example is extremely rare, and the last year of the 2 door Nomad. From 1958 on, the Nomad was a 4 door car. Instead, the Brookwood was the 2 door wagon. This Nomad is drop dead gorgeous, and in mint condition! Wow!
Hi Michael, Happy to read you appreciate the rarity of this car :-) High praise! Lou
Holy cow, I don't recall ever seeing a better example of an awesome Nomad. Nice catch, thanks for sharing!
Hi Rick, Happy to read you appreciate the condition of this car :-) Took awhile to find this one, and my pleasure sharing it with you. You're welcome, Lou
Another great video Lou always loved the tri five Chevys. Have a 56 BelAir 2 door hardtop. The 57 Nomad is pretty rare. They only built 6,103 in 1957.
Hi PlymouthDuster225, Happy to read you love the tri five Chevys :-) Glad to read you have a 1956 Bel Air. NICE! Lou
This 57 Nomad is perfect! I've always loved these wagons! I'm not much of a station wagon man, but something about these ones just leaves me ta drooling like a lobotomized cat. Excellent feature, Lou! HIGH-FIVES!!!!
Hi ImTheDaveman, High praise! Glad to receive HIGH-FIVES!!!! Lou
Lou, this Nomad is just unbelievable. Perhaps the finest survivor? That 283 sounded soooo sweet! Imho the lines and flow of the Nomad are even superior to the two door Sedan - timeless as Pegasus. Fabulous feature! Can't wait to share this with some buddies!
Hi Audie, Happy to read you think this car is "unbelievable" and like the sound too :-) High praise, Lou
Hey Lou! This is my favourite 1957 vehicle. (Period) what a year 57 was for American automobiles! If I had to choose a single car from that famous year, this would be it! (and I’m mainly a Mopar guy!)
Sooo beautiful!
Thanks for featuring it!
Hey Cherry Picker Guitars, Happy to read this is your favorite 1957 vehicle :-) You're welcome, Lou
Wow! It's as classic as classic gets! John definitely knows his "Tri-5s". It looks and sounds great, too. Thanks, Lou!
HI TheGunfighter45acp, Happy to receive a "Wow!" from you :-) You're welcome, Lou
Car is drop dead Gorgeous.
Said it before, i'll say it agiain, cars from this era were rolling works of art.
Sweet it's got the Power Pack 283.
In '66, my Dad bought a '64 Malibu station wagon, 283 and a 3 speed. Car was like new but after a couple of years he started having problems with the engine.
A friend set him up and installed a 283 from a wrecked '67 Camaro,,,you guessed it, a Power Pack type.
He loved this and would mention it anytime he could.
After trips from the bay area to Auburn, Sacramento, Reno and Oregon, he estimated he'd put nearly 300 k on it when he finally let it go in the late 80's. Age and crappy gas ('I gotta keep retarding the timing !'). Still ran and was never apart. Great car.
Could be wrong but i believe the heads were Fuelie, 202.
'57, same year as me :)
Hi Glen, High praise for the looks of this car :-) Glad to read you and this car have the same birth year. Thank you for sharing the story of your Dads car, Lou
Another icon on My Car Story with Lou!
Beautiful Nomad - impeccable presentation. You just know John is going to be a great caretaker for this classic.
Thanks for bringing this to us Lou!
Hi Jeff, High praise :-) My pleasure finding & sharing this one with you. You're welcome, Lou
That is a work of art ! Chevy Bel Air has to be one of the most beautiful cars ever. Thank you for sharing this glorious car
Hi Dave, Happy to read you enjoy this "work of art" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Love your enthusiasm, Lou, with the wonderful machines you give their due - whether it's a brand new video or a five year old video - your enthusiasm, 100% genuine, keeps me coming back for more and this gorgeous Bel Air is no exception. Hey follow subs and newbies let's get behind the channel and excellent hos by watching the ads and sharing vids to friends (thank you!). And thanks Lou for another time capsule of American classics!
Hi Bruce H., Happy to read the enthusiasm comes through the video :-) Thanks for sharing with others to join on board. You're welcome, Lou
I love Nomads. Actually love all of the tri-five era cars. My personal favorite is the basic 150 and 210 post cars but I can understand why the Bel Air is a favorite among most. Thanks again for sharing this beautiful wagon with us Lou. Take care.
HI Russell, Happy to read "I love Nomads" :-) Thank you for sharing the cars you enjoy. You're welcome, Lou
My favorite is a 56, but all three are nice. In 58 they became a fancy 4-door wagon, still nice, but not like the 55-57. 61 was the last year for a Nomad.
Such a beautiful Chevy! Thank you for sharing, Lou!
My pleasure sharing this car with you rpaz61. You're welcome. Lou
Wow! So the 57 was a last minute decision, and yet probably the most iconic car ever! Everyone knows a 57 Chevy when they see it.
Hi Carl, Happy to receive a "Wow!" from you :-) Lou
Thank you for doing these classic car videos! The 1955-56-57 Ford Thunderbirds and the 1955-56-57 Chevrolet Bel-Air Nomads, and all of the cars of the 1950’s looked great with two-tone paint with white tops.
You're welcome :-) You're on the right RUclips Channel for the cars you and I enjoy.
I love Nomads, this one an absolute corker. well done John. lovely. been after a 56 for some time now. thanks Lou - seasons greetings from Hong Kong
Happy to read you "love Nomads' D Wnright :-) You're welcome, Lou
What a beautiful Nomad. The Nomads have always been one of my favorite Chevrolet/GM models, albeit some were not so attractive. But the ‘57 to me, was the epitome of the BelAir & Nomad generations. An absolute great Saturday morning treat! Thanks Lou for a great presentation!
Hi Rusty, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this Nomad :-) My pleasure sharing this "treat" with you. You're welcome, Lou
Sometimes the only description I can muster is WOW! Another beautiful example of GM excellence from the 50's!😉
Happy to receive a "WOW!" from you :-)
A gorgeous example of a true classic. I appreciate that the side metal accents line up perfectly between the door and fenders - a rare occurrence . . . and the license plates are colour-coordinated! My one question is why the black circles on the back lights? They take away from the original design.
Hi Jay, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this "true classic" :-) I'm not sure why the "blue dots" added in the tail light lens. I would have had the regular look, however this is the closest 1957 Nomad to original I've seen so far, so I thought I'd share, Lou
great car!.. my guess is this is one of the finest known examples of original perfection !.... was it ever restored?.. or just simply kept in ideally perfect conditions?
Hi Martin, High praise :-) I believe it was restored. Lou
OMG Another Chevrolet Nomad 1957 My dad always loved his Chevy's If he was here Today He would love that . It would Bring back Memories to him. his was dark green
HI Charlie, Happy to read your Dad would love this car :-) Lou
This is probably the "Holy Grail" of the 1957 model. The Nomad was such a cool design, I guess you could argue that the Nomad was one of the first "crossovers" being that it wasn't a sedan and it wasn't a truck and it wasn't the typical station wagon. This car is iconic for sure and looks fabulous in red!!! Cars used to have such style!!!
Hi Hobiemarty, High praise for this 1957 Nomad :-) Lou
John has one gorgeous Nomad. Many smiles per mile with this car. :-)
Hi James, I agree :-) Lou
What a beauty! I'm an admirer of late 50's wagons because they're lean in the rear with the sloped back glass and tailgate. By the late 60's, wagons became very boxy in the rear for more cargo space.

I remember my brother’s friend having one in the later ‘60’s. It was just a used, abused, rusty old car at the time. Little did I know that I was looking at a classic.

Riding shotgun in a Nomad was just the prescription I needed. Thanks Dr. Lou!
Hi judgegixxer, Happy to read this video helps :-) It helps me too :-) Dr. Lou
Beautiful cars these Nomads,i always preferred the 56 but this is gorgeous too ,i think the safari wagons were the better looking cars though 😍
Hi Jack, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
Hey LOU, you ol' "PAISANO BAMBOOZLER" YOU! The Chevy NOMAD used to be a "heartthrob" of mine back in its day (I was 17 when this '57 came out - I'm 82 now!)! Nothing beats a "hot red" for that "gorgeous wet look"!! Really really love the OUTSTANDING VISION on these Nomads! Those 7 vertical SS ribs on the tailgate were real "turn ons" for me too! The whitewalls really help bring out the beauty of the red, or any color for that matter! And BIG JOHN - where do you get all your "moola"? Remember, "I left my MOOLA in ASHTABULA"?! Wonderful "vintage memories" for this ol' dude (not DUD now!)! "Ach du lieber, mein schatz"!!! "Gesundheit" & Horace Heidt too!!! Remember his "big band music" many decades ago??? "GOOT SCHTOOFF"!
Hey Mr. Thickey, Happy to stir up the "heartthrob" with this car :-) Lou
In 1955 we bought a new Bel-Air station wagon, 265 V8, automatic. My father looked at the Nomad but wanted a 4-door wagon, so we got the regular Bel-Air instead. We had the 55 nine years then traded it on a new 64 Pontiac Catalina wagon.
Sounds like your Father had some nice cars :-)
A gorgeous classic Chevy model!!
Hi Thomas, High praise for the looks of this car :-) Lou
What a beauty, great sample of the great '57,thanks Lou.
Hi Gerard, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
Hi, Lou! I think you knew I was going to enjoy this episode! There is a great interest in station wagons in the classic car hobby now, but it took a long time for that to happen, I would say probably not until the Nineties. Before then, I think the 1955-1957 Chevy Bel Air Nomad and Pontiac Star Chief Custom Safari may have been the only ones that seemed to generate any interest in wagons, other than woodies. The unique styling is a definite factor in this wagon being an instant friendmaker, and perhaps no collection of Tri-Five Chevys would be complete without one. As John says, this was a great find for sure...and a keeper!
Lou, thanks you and John for taking us along on this Nomadic journey! BTW, I hope you can find more wagons to spotlight, whether they be Nomads or more conventional ones like a Ford Country Squire, and if you do, be sure to say "tailgate and treats"!
Hi iswc27, I had you in mind when videoing this wagon :-) Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You're welcome. I'll see if I can find another great wagon for you, so stay tuned, Lou
Pure 50’s heaven incredible find ! Iconic 57 🇺🇸
"Pure 50's heaven" Amen!

Beautiful 1957 Nomad -Chevy ❤
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
What a lucky guy you are getting rides in the most iconic cars ever made. This car is outstanding. I was shocked to see the power pack option.
Hi Jon, I agree, I feel fortunate to ride in these cars and enjoy sharing the opportunity with you. Lou
Those tri fives were built so good
Nice :-)
Thank you John and Lou, super nice 57.
You're welcome Chris :-)
I always love those Nomad
:-)
This 1957 Chevrolet Nomad look very original with no modifications. Under the hood it looks like all the original Chevrolet equipment is there, including an original engine. Also from the drivers seat and from the transmission selector it looks like this car has an original power glide transmission. This is one car that was not modified.
Hi David, Thank you for viewing & sharing what you notice, Lou
It's almost impossible to find one today that hasn't been modified or butchered whether restored or original.
@@1940limited It is often that I see these tri-five Chevrolets on RUclips that have Big Block V8 installed to give it way more power and a four or five speed transmission with a floor shift lever, which is definitely a modified car.
@@davidgrisez Anyone who does that to a Nomad has destroyed the car. Shame on them!
Love that Classic Chevy sound too!!
Happy to read you enjoy the sounds from this car :-)
The Chevrolet designers did a superb job finishing out the Tri-Fives with this model. It was the icing on the cake for 3 perfectly designed cars. Ford and Mopar may've had fresh modern designs, but these cars have a stance that blow them out of water. This car has a breathtaking resto. I'm so glad it doesn't have the bumper guards on it. For me that destroys the clean look of the front-end.
Hi Joseph, High praise for the looks and restoration of this car :-) Lou
True iconic car.

My mom was about 8 yrs old when her had brought a yellow with black roof Nomad home new in 1957. He also was in the fuel oil business first with Pure oil, then with Union 76. all his cars had the orange ball. Yes the 1958 should have been the 1957.

Man I love Nomads! ❤
'Nuff said! 😁
NICE !
Thanks for getting back to me Lou you have a great show that's really down to earth I know that the 57 had a clear and green tent the one you had the red one looks more modern 10th but I thought was really cool looking that's why I was curious maybe someday when I get mine done I'll be able to drive it down the road and hookup I also live in Chicago like that red one lives in Illinois thanks Mike
Hi Mike, My pleasure getting back to you. Happy to see another nice Nomad, and hope you're comes out the way you like :-) Lou

Hey Lou! Merry Christmas to you, and yours. What a Beauty. When I was 12 years old (in 1974) I had the magazines and the photos of the Nomads and always loved the BelAir but seeing the NOMADS in the Magazines introduced me to my NEW Love. Especially the Black with Red interior. Every Collector has a tendency to over option all the options with the Spinner Caps. In my eyes (because there are so many like this) they are starting to look like Toys. I prefer the Simpler Full Wheel Discs and Some less popular color options as they had a Rainbow of colors to choose from. Every once in a while I am like DAMN, that is NICE! Still A great Car!
Hey gene978, Merry Christmas! Happy to read this is one of your "loves" :-) Thank you for viewing & sharing, Lou
One of my fav cars and the year l was born
Hi David, Happy to read is one of your favorite cars and the same year you were born too :-) Lou
Thanks Lou my friend 😎Doug
You're welcome Doug :-)
Always enjoyable to see the shoe box style. My wife loves her turquoise and white 57 just a basic 210 but it does have the V8. Not much of a car guy as I ride my motorcycle all the time but I definitely can appreciate the mechanics and the older styles as in I definitely like older motorcycles. 🍺👍
Happy to read your wife had a 1957 210 :-) NICE! Lou
I had a blue 57 Nomad back in the 70s I bought from the original owner. It was stock and all original, but had some rust issues. Ultimately I sold it to a guy in Long Island and I don't know where it went from there. It was a 4 barrel carburetor with dual exhaust, but I don't know if it had the V in the heads. I wasn't aware of that at the time. It had Turbo-Glide, not the 2-speed Power Glide this one has. Reverse was by Park and the quadrant had G instead of L. It was like a Buick Dyna-Flow. It didn't shift. I also didn't know about the engine mounts and what's correct for 57, so I learned some things from this video. Like so many other cars I had, I'm sorry I didn't keep the Nomad.

Yet another one of those cars my parents had when it was just a used car they drove 'til something broke and then sold to a kid down the street. I suspect the one they had was probably a no option base model, can't say for sure.

What a beautiful car I'm in the process of restoring 57 Chevy Nomad I have a question was that clear glass or did they use a more modern tinted glass cuz it doesn't look like the green tint? Again what a beautiful car
Hi Mike, Glad you enjoy this car :-) I recall a tinted glass option back in that time frame and this glass did have a tint to it. I'm not an Expert, and hoping a Viewer with knowledge can help answer your question. Hope you're comes out the way you like it. Lou
"The Gold V means it has the V8." That is the first time I've heard that. I'm guessing that all the Bel Airs had a V8 though. So, the 150s, 200s, Del Rays, and what nots all had a V6?
Hi Jed, For 1957 there were four standard engine options, a 235.5 cu in (3,859 cc) inline 6-cylinder producing 140 hp (104 kW), a 265 cu in (4,340 cc) V8 "Turbo-Fire" producing 162 hp (121 kW), and two 283 cu in (4,640 cc) V8s: a "Turbo-Fire" twin-barrel carburetor producing 185 hp (138 kW) and a "Super "Turbo-Fire" four-barrel carburetor developing 220 hp (164 kW).[6] To help mechanics distinguish the 265 cu in V8 engine from the red 1956 and 1955 265 cu in V8 engines and the orange 1957 283 cu in V8s, the early 1957 265 cu in V8 engines with manual transmissions were painted a bright yellow-green chartreuse. After November 1956, the 1957 265 cu in V8 engines were painted the same orange as the 1957 283 cu in V8s.
Another optional engine was offered with two four barrel carburetors, the legendary "Duntov" cam and solid lifters. This engine produced 270 hp. 1957 was the first year that Chevrolet ever offered fuel injection as an option. A 283 cu in (4,640 cc) engine fitted with solid lifters, the "Duntov" cam and fuel injection was rated at 283 hp (211 kW) and cost $500.[7][8] This was the first time in history that a General Motors vehicle achieved 1-hp-per-cu-in in a production vehicle. Fuel injection continued as an option throughout the early 1960s. However, most mechanics of the time didn't have the experience to keep the units running properly. This prompted most buyers to opt for conventional carburetion.
@@loucostabile Of course, if a 1957 is still in action, most likely they've installed V8s. But I'll remember your remark and look for the V6 engines w/o the be V on the front hood!
What do you think Lou, enough visibility ??
I can see clearly now the windows are many......I can see all obstacles in my way :-)
