Found on Ebay is this Beautiful top of the line 9 passenger 1961 Nomad wagon being offered at no reserve. The seller says it is an “F” code car meaning it was originally equipped with a 2bbl 348 V8, but is now powered by a 283V8. It is also said to be an original “air” car although the compressor is missing. Power steering, power drum brakes and a rear power widow are among the other options listed.
The 2-tone paint is the right combination along with the period correct wide whitewalls. A very nice and honest weekend driver, the only thing we would like to see is a stock engine compartment.
Update 2/23/2012: The Chevy sold for $17,600

I’m the new owner. Let me know if you need any additional information. I have it in the shop to take care of suspension needs. Can’t wait to cruise!

I like your car. My first car was the 1961 Nomad. I noticed some difference from my car. Where it says “Impala” my car said “Nomad”. I still have the nameplate. My rear bumper was in three pieces. My air conditioning was hung below the dash in the center. The outlets were the same. I had a 3 speed with a Bendix overdrive.

Do you know the type of this blue? I’m restoring a Parkwood 1961, and I’d like to paint mine the same color. Thanks

Beautiful looking car. I’ve always liked the 1961 Chevy Bel Air and the Impala.
Tony Di Stefano says
Love the car! Do you still have it? If so, are you going to sell it? Please give me a shout. 1961chevroletforsale@gmail.com. I am in the market for one, had one, regret parting ways but was moving. Thanks in advance for your time.

Hello did you ever sell your wagon

Very nice, and very rare! The `61 Nomads just didn’t survive over time, being family haulers and workhorses, they were pretty much shot within 10 years. GM missed one tiny detail when making the `61 Nomad; the inner taillamps should’ve been back-up lamps to seperate the Nomad from the lesser Biscayne & Parkwood models. The mfg. cost to do so was nothing.
