I'm guessing you wish you still had that Nomad wagon. I know I'd love to have oneZeke said:If you want my absolute first car it was a ‘55 Chevy Nomad wagon, 265/powerglide, that was a rust bucket that I bought a year before I got my drivers license. I traded it to a friend who had a body shop, before he told me that you could still buy replacement quarter panels for it, for a white ‘64 Chevy Impala convertible with a 327/powerglide. Dad talked me into giving it back and getting cash instead and I then bought the ‘69 Chevy K10 4x4 pickup, 307/3 on the tree, dad was going to trade in for a new ‘72 Chevy 4x4. He sold it to me for what he was getting in trade for it. I pulled the 307 V8 and dropped in a 375 hp 396 big block V8, but couldn’t find exhaust manifolds for it even though I knew that Chevy made rams horn style manifolds, like those used on small blocks, that would work for it that were used on their 366 big block V8’s in 2 ton trucks. The owner of the salvage yard where I got the 396 took it back and built me a strong 327 small block V8 for it with which I promptly tore out the output shaft of the 3 speed transmission and the extension shaft/adapter tube between it and the transfer case while trying to show off for the the salvage yard employees. I found out later that the 3 speed transmission Chevy used in that 68 4x4 pickup was the one that they had previously used in the ‘55 - ‘56 Chevy cars with 6 cylinder engines, definitely under strength for the 4x4 application. So after repairing the pickup I sold it and bought a ‘68 Chevy Nova with a 6 cylinder and 3 speed on the floor my Junior year in high school which later got a 283 V8 dropped in it in place of the 230 inline 6. So in my first 2 years as a vehicle owner I had 4 different vehicles. I’d love to have the ‘55 Nomad and/or the ‘64 Impala convertible today as I’ve got the skills and the resources to restore those classics now that I didn’t have back then. That’s the “short” answer with a bit of added detail.
