Beautiful graphic. My Dad purchased a new Nomad Station Wagon of that series from when I was a baby (1957) until I graduated from high school (1973). We knew no other car until we got a second car to share with all the drivers in our family. I think it was on maybe its third engine.

Dad sold it to a young man for $75 who restored it from stem to stern. I remember when that young man brought it by the house to show us what he'd done . . . that fellow was good!

Those ‘57 Chebbys in Cuba probably have some foreign diesel under the hood, and it’s been there for 50 years. BTW, just watched a ‘57 Bel Air Convertible go for $150k on one of the TV auto auctions. Who Knew?

Nothing like a Hardtop Coupe without a B Pillar.

Gone are the days you could order your ‘special’ car. Only problem it took about 15 weeks to obtain delivery from the dealer.

Missing from the graphic, are the Sedan Deliveries, both windowed, and solid panel.
They were marketed under the truck line, but shared the same body style as the “150” Handyman wagon. A “D” in the VIN, and one piece rear liftgate, were among the features that set them apart.
