  3. my buddy has a very solid 56 that, believe it or not, he got 7 years ago for 1200 bux and it drove under it's own power onto the trailer...came with an extra steering wheel, extra hubcaps, some nice rally wheels, and other stuff...to this day he has done nothing to it...it's killin' me!

    I just bought this one. It's a 57 with a full Paul Newman Chassis, with complete C-4 corvette suspension and drivetrain. Needs a lot of work though. :)

    I posted this picture several years ago. It came out of my buddies photo album. It's from the Starbird show in '78 or '79.
    [​IMG]

    And this is the same car we think. I had a '56 Safari and was trying to find the car. Best I know it is from the Wichita area.

    Not a Nomad, maybe a Pomad but here is mine. All it needs is finishing up.

    Personally I like the Safari's better as far as looks go. They are a bit longer over all, but they also have the "sweet heart" dip behind the B piller were as the Nomads do not.

  27. I was just going to post that! I always thought it was strange that Pontiac had a dip that would work perfect with 55-56 Chev Belair trim
    my favorite's that I've worked on were banned from my camera. they didn't want to be found. a black 56 Nomad and a black 57 Safari both 4 speeds 327 and 421
