My all time favorites..grew up with them at 78 years old. Sold my black 57 Nomad in 2012 and kept the 56 150 utility sedan I scored in 1979. It delivered phone books in Northern CA...to our home!
Going to be your daily driver? Best thing I've heard recently. I've been driving my 65 Nova every day for a year and a half, much fun. Was at Cecil County Dragway yesterday, didn't run it since there was a vintage competition going on but will get me a time slip soon. Attended a car show last weekend at the Harford County Airport and my Wife and I got to fly in a 1941 Stearman PT-17. $100 for a half hour flight and got to actually "pilot" it for a while. Good to hear from you, Happy Motoring !!!
Nice to see the car we heard so much about. Ironically, I saw a nice red and white 56 Nomad today and wanted to stop by his house and talk to the owner but had the wife with me. It is also nice to see you up and around. I missed your videos. I'm back on the car again.
Hey Harvey! Yes it certainly is nice to see the car for sure! I think a red and white 56 nomad is a gorgeous car! Good to hear you back up and running! Have a good one Buddy 👍
I was just thinking about you the other day I thought to myself I hadn't seen any videos recent from you for awhile it's good to see you back at it again and I'm happy to hear that you finally have your father's old car I hope all is well on your end
Been waiting along time for you to bring the 56 back home. Had one in 68/69 era. Love the car had to sell it to marry my bride of 54 years. I’m still in love with my short Italian bride so it was the right decision. Don best to you and yours. Can’t wait to see you get it back on the road. Butch Nelson.
That’s awesome Don. Another great car for the collection. I’m not sure if I could do anything to it but drive it after you fix reared. Thanks for sharing it with us. 👍😎✌️
Real nice Don to see a tri-five with no rust pretty much that car would be a great candidate for a frameoff restoration someday or just get her going the way she is with some paint and touchup like you said..Very cool car & looks like it could be my 55S older brother same patina black,LOLL!!!............................
Sweet ride . Your brother did to you what my brother did to me , lol ... Had my 56' in his garage since we built it( the garage) in 98' . Moved it out 3 years ago , now it's here in a portable shelter at the house .....I'm surebyoull treat her right 😊
Nice car Don. I have a rear end with the leaf springs and wheels, you can have bro. You just have to come and get them. If you want to drag that 55 nomad out here that you're not going to use, I'll take it. And I got some other parts you might be interested in. Come and check them out. I hope you're having a great day.
Thanks Man! This car won't take but a day or two and it'll be back up and driving! My biggest thing is ive been so dang busy at work doing 6 day work weeks! I'll be back on the convertible really soon! Have a good one Buddy 👍
WOW! Man Don, that thing is awesome!! would be cool to see all your nomads lined up in a row. Been sitting since 96 huh? that's the year I graduated high school, sure don't seem like 27 years ago! round about 1994 i actually almost bought a nomad, the guy only wanted 1500 bucks for it but i passed on it because it didnt have a title, sure kick myself in the butt years later about passing on it. were finally getting some rain over here in Wisconsin too, but man is it cold today because of it, windy, wet and only in the low 50s. But I took a little drive today and picked up a 55 delray seat so at least i got some car stuff done today, my boy got out of the hospital yesterday all went well so it was nice to do a little car stuff. Lookin forward to seeing some videos on this one!
Hey Dan! Im very happy to hear all went well with your boys surgery! Our kids our are legacy and we will live on through them! Man that's crazy your graduated in 96 I graduated in 97. Lol What year was the nomad you almost bought? This car has alot of memories with me as my 2 daughters grew up riding in the back of it! Have a good one Buddy 👍
What a cool car! I gotta say, every single one of your cars I would love to have. I am super jealous. Dont get me wrong, I have some very cool cars I've hoarded over the years, more then I will ever get a chance to build. But I never run across tri 5s in my area in SC. They are either too nice for my budget or junk. I'd like a stockish 57 belair hardtop or convertible and I want a 55 2dr sedan to make a hotrod out of. Maybe one day!!
What a beauty Don! What a unique paint combo too! Glad to hear you are going back to the original paint combo. With the family history and being 2nd family owning it, it sure looks like it will be staying! As far as the Nomad, the '56 is my favorite year! Keep up the great work and I look forward to this one in the future!
Thanks Jeff! The original colors are very unique and rare! From what ive read they introduced spring colors to spark late.year sales! I've put many miles on this car and I plan to put many more on it! Have a good one Buddy 👍
Now your talken Big Don! I am a 56 guy. Been waiting for this one. Looks great! I"m finally working on the 56 sedan delivery. Can not wait for the videos
Heck yeah Don, heard you talking about it before, really glad for you Bud that's in awesome shape . Daily Driver will be so Cool for sure. Have a good Bud 👍✌️
Thanks Lonnie! Man I so dang happy to have the old car back home! Cant wait to get the rearend fixed and be back driving it around! Have a good one Buddy 👍
Don so cool that you got your dads nomad . it looks to be in great shape. i like the chrome wheels too. the car looks perfect just the way it is. i would do the rear and wash it and drive it like that asap. im doing some of the rust repairs on my 57 wagon this week. the 56 nomad makes your set complete now 👍😁
@@donshotrodgarage1717 Don I like how when you open ur garage n you see all your Tri Fives n you should ya me a Pics n make a Tri Five Poster n sell them n I bet alot of people would buy it .
Holy smoke Don, that thing is nice. That original color combo is gorgeous on a Nomad. Really looking forward to updates on this one. I had to search you on youtube. I was subscribed but for some reason it showed I wasn't ???????? I thought you'd stopped posting videos. Lol.
Thanks Man! This car is very special to me. My dad found it and bought in late 96! It's a really good car that was totally original when we got it, I still have the original engine 265 powerpak! I think the factory colors will be sharp on it! Most pf them are red and white anymore. Have a good one Buddy 👍
The floors for that nomad are the same as the sedan. You can get the whole floor for 1k without shipping at a company in Florida. (This won't let me post too many details)
Don, it's a gem. But somehow you didn't really need this right now, as you need to triple the size of your garage to accommodate all of your cars. I hope this becomes a reliable daily driver. May put a Holly Sniper on it to help in that regard.
Don you’re gonna have to have a daughter to marry off just so you can park your Nomads. Whaddya calling it? Family Heirloom? Genetic Condition? 23 & Counting? Shadow ‘mad? p.s. Congrats! Can’t wait to see the Checkerboard Wheels on her.
Thanks 1 Yes my daughters already know when they get there own house I get the garage, heck I'll even pay some of the house payment to have the garage. Lol Have a good one Buddy 👍
Big Don..... Better start talking to the wife about moving to a place to accommodate all of these rare cars. Its a shame to have to keep jockeying them from spot to spot for lack of room. I'm serious Don! Always love you vids friend. Cheers, Bruce
Super Nice, that baby is BEL-utiful. Can't wait to see Videos of it Especially Running.
Thanks Man! I have another video I'll be uploading soon! Have a good one Buddy 👍
What a score. Every kids dream. and I'm 70. beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your prize. post some more of the new paint a c rip. Be well.
Thanks Man! There will be plenty of more videos on this car as well as all the others! Have a good one Buddy 👍
