    Even when I was a kid 50 years ago 55 Nomads were rare. You saw 4-5 to 1 regular 4 door station wagons over Nomads because the Nomad was a high end option that not too many could or would afford back then.

    I owned an incredibly RARE 1957 Nomad in 1969. It must have been special ordered for an executive because it had unheard of options that were never (or almost never in the case of the a/c) in 57 Chevys:
    1. Factory Air Conditioning
    2. Power Windows
    3. Padded Dash
    4. Power Steering
    5. Power Brakes
    It was in the two-toned colors of Ivory on top and Burnt Sienna on the body. A beautiful combination.

    The thing I love about Counts Customs the most is every thing they build retains a period correct drivetrain they actually restore and make upgrade with out destroying a vehicles value they truly do make dreams come true and none of them have changed much Since the first episode on the history channel and have since gained them world wide recognition I have watched every episode starting with the Triumph sprite limon Rick Harrison brought to Danny to repair But it was beyond help & would have cost more to Restore then She was actually worth but that wasn't the first Counting Cars Series but it was the first time Danny appeared on the History channel So I Concider it the first episode

    I remember in '75 those cars were very popular then too, of course. They were difficult because they were so old, with all the rust. It's amazing how many of them survived today, some 45 years later, makes them three times as old as they were then. I live on Long Island New York - if you left that car outside, didn't touch it, it would still turn to a pile of rust. Of course in Las Vegas it's way different.

    I don't know why anybody would choose to restore a rusty car from the east or wet climate, spend 6 months or two years removing the rust, when they could drive out to Nevada, pick up a rust-free car.
