My 55 Nomad Trailer

Post by n-trude »

I only pulled it one time this year. In June I went to Vienna Ill. to a IMBC Campout.

I had a Tent-Cot inside the 55 I slept in that weekend. I bought it in 2008.
Its been a lot of miles over the years.

The guy with no cap is Ozark Larry some of the older IA guys might know.
He told me he sold his farm in Mo. and wrecked his Honda in Ar. this summer.
Him and I have met at several different places over the years.

Mike that 55 Nomad is nice but when you going to put the bit of chrome under the headlight that meets with the front fender chome? Only the Nomad had this bit of chrome. :lmao: Kidding and other wise looks enough like the real thing to fool you from way off. Has got a serious chop top to it. :cheers:

Thanks Old Timer

A guy followed me to the parking lot in Ten. one time

He said what is that? I said 55 Nomad.
He said it don't say Chevy on it. I said they might sue them.

He said I thought the windows on the station wagon were taller.
I said its a Replica.

He looked at my rig and said your motorcycle don't have a kickstand.
I said its a Trike.

He shook his head and got in his pick up and drove off.

I just did not have the answers to his questions.

"It don't have a kick stand" :lmao: Its a nice custom with shaved hood. I bet you are right about the Chevy on it. All so 55 if they had a v-eight had the small v-eight badge under each tail light. 56 is when they started the big v on hood and boot if they had a v-eight. Most 55 Chevys look so much better two tone as did Ford. Any way like it better than your pop eye daze. [emoji106]

Hey Mike, did you hear I lost my teardrop trailer when I moved? Actually it is still at the old house, but if you ever decide to get rid of the 55 I could use a good trailer. :lol: I like the looks of that. [emoji106]

That square Tent Cot I have will just fit inside the 55.
It sleeps good too. John does yours fold down square.
mine is about 32 inches square. Too big for a two wheel bike.

Yep, when it is folded down and put in the case it is square and 32" sounds about right. :uhh:

Mike allways liked the Nomad trailer.Had two 55 chevys but no Nomad..Was lookng through old bike mags before boxing them away.I have boxes of old car/truck and motorcycle mags all the way back to the 60s! I drag them out sometimes twenty years later for flash backs:bonk: .. Was in a May 2016 Rider.On page 92 is a small pic of a gold color wing or some other land monster with a big ass side car and a Nomad like yours in tow.Not the same color but sure it came off the same mold. :cheers:
