The Corvair, Nomad and roll-up window hardtop prototypes probably were junked over 50 years ago, but the re-creations that have popped up in the last few years are well done and treats to the eye.

Apparently, though, the Corvair and Nomad have gone on to that great chopper gun in the sky.:flaghalfmast: Jim |

The hardtop car has surfaced and is being restored. There was a thread about it either here or on the NCRS forum a year or so ago.

To my understanding both the Corvair and the Nomad are tucked away in a ware house in Newport Beach, CA...

I heard him (red shirt) tell some folks that this was actually a GM prototype car that they were rebuilding.

I find this hard to believe. By now they would have gone on the block at B-J for mid-five figures.

Well, 2 hood pulls, entire front end cloth, deck lid early and cloth, inside firewall cloth, rear bullets cloth, rear quarters cloth, top cloth, early vin tag, choke pull early, small dime windshield wiper, no cut outs behind the seats, 53 radio, should I go on or should this be enough for critics. Oh it also has a real 066 head and real 53 valve cover. If you would like to take a look at it, call Ashley or Roger and I'm sure he would let you look at it.

Did the Motorama Corvair have this same reverse hinged trunk configuration ? If so or if not, it's a terrific feature. :thumbs:

I chatted with the owner on three occasions during Bloomington Gold and he did NOT say this was an actual GM prototype. Quite the opposite. He stated is was a recreation he was building. Upfront and forthright honesty.

Yep.And I hear he also owns the original Nomad.:rofl:
I hope to see him at Carlisle. He at least has some talent by looking at his work!:woohoo: |
I actually like the Nomad style one the best, just sayin' :D
I would love a stock looking Nomad style replica of the original in Pennant Blue but have a new chassis, engine, ac, etc. That would be wicked sick :rock: |

Talked to him about the Nomad an nope he doesn't even like the Nomad, but I assume you have never talked with him either since you like to blast him for nothing. You must be good without facts!
