I recall it was a two toned silver/blue color and I believe it might have had a 409ci power plant because it really flew when the gas was pressed. I thought it was the best car in the neighborhood but Dad thought otherwise as it was in the shop quite a bit. They traded it in for a 1965 Bel Air sedan with a straight six. This was the car I learned to drive on. The BelAir had a three speed automatic and I tore that tranny to shreds while in high school trying to burn rubber (only worked when I had the car on a pile of wet leaves and floored it). Oh, well...anyway, the '59 Nomad did indeed exist and it was quite a machine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
