I actually really like the concept, just not the execution . I do admire the work that does into doing something like that.

That's fugly. I thought it was impossible to do a C5 chassis to whatever else conversion until I saw a beautiful 61 Corvette conversion.

Toque

oh brother,,,,,



Needs to be lowered too....

ZeeVette, where did you see that 61 conversion, and are there any pictures?

Meanwhile, I would need to see a rear shot of the Nomad conversion to get a real sense of the car.

Blue 92

I thought 87 Ragtop had taken pics of the one we saw locally. Might even be the same car.

Found them in his Photobucket account.

Oh my, I just burped....or was it more?!

itzza427

Not bad IMO,,would not be high on my list of must haves .but I kind of like it!!

Vetteman Jack

Can't say I really like the back end of the car.

This is old, but I'll say again, I think if it were a little more well done, it could be cool, but they've kind of fuglized it.

You are correct sir. A show car developed in 54 under the direction of Harley Earl and made its debut at motorama. Sadly I believe the original (they only made one...a rolling model only) was destroyed. So any you see are recreations. I actually think the 54 looked kinda cool...but the C5 version...

The original 54 show car looks like a complete car where the C5, although a lot of work went into it, looks like different pieces glued onto a C5 and not a ground up build, like the 54. The overall lines of the car do not flow well, the proportions are off, and it could use a few more revisions to look like an actual well designed car. IMHO.

Well said. JOE

bvillezo6

the only people that should be seen driving this car are the ghostbusters...

danziger

Hideously awful IMO, but whatever floats your boat...

Keep one thing in mind. If I recall correctly, the original Nomand was based on a full sized, new for '55, Chevy chassis, with a 'Vette nose and tail lights grafted on to it. Therefore, the proportions are a lot different.

As one poster said, somebody created a car that THEY liked, so be it.

ZO6 Lee

It's actually a 62 conversion. A firm in Lakewood, WA. I think it's about $65,000 plus donor car. Nice proportions, fit and finish. But for $100,000 I think I'd rather have a C6 ZO6. Here's their website;

As for the Nomad, the same company makes a 54 style roadster as well. Much better than the Nomad, but still a lot of money for a kit car.

Back in the 70's Greenwood did a similar car from a C-3, not a C-1 look alike, but a wagon Vette.

If I remember correctly, wasn't it called the Kammback?? Pontiac's styling department also did the same "wagon" roof addition to a late 70s ('78, maybe) Trans Am, as a "styling exercise". Kinda cool, actually...

Vette-Dream

The front fender doesn't flow well into the bottom line behind the front tire.

The stock roof should be modified to match the truck canopy that was used.

It looks like a work in progress, the lines just don't flow. If you're going to spend the time to convert your car into something else, at least make it look complete. I'd think every panel would need some restyling in order to make it look like a single form. Right now your eye gets stuck where the diferent styles cross.
