1954 Chevrolet Nomad Raview

Chevrolet Nomad was a station wagon produced by Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors Corporation from 1955 to 1961. The Nomad is the best memory of a station wagon with two doors, and is often associated with the "surf culture" in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The Nomad is considered halo model Chevrolet during the production of three years as a station wagon with two doors.

1955-1957

The two-door Nomad differed from other station wagons of the day by having a unique style more reminiscent of a hardtop to a standard station wagon. Chevrolet shared this one with his sister, Pontiac, which marketed their version of the Pontiac Safari.

The Nomad's unique design has its roots in a car from General Motors Motorama show the same name, was based on the Corvette. GM approved production of the vehicle if the model could be transferred to their normal size models, because top GM brass felt that they could sell more models if it was related to the popular style of Bel Air.

Although considered a stage of vehicle design, General Motors discontinued the original Nomad at the end of 1957 the model to focus on its next new halo vehicles the Chevrolet Impala.

1958-1961

The 1958 model year, Chevrolet Nomad, the name applied to the traditional top-line wagon with four doors.

In 1959, Nomad was transferred to an expanded range of Impala, which had been replaced by the Bel Air Top-Line and Chevrolet. Chevrolet Nomad continue to be used as the end of 1961 model years, Chevrolet station wagon when all the parents gave the name of the model.

1964 to 1980,

Nomad back in 1964 and again in 1965 as a two-door Chevelle station wagon, and spent the rest of his life in 1960 with low Chevelle station wagon. In 1970 and early 1980 was also offered as the van G-Series full-size model.

1953 Chevrolet Corvette C1

Chevrolet Corvette C1 is a sports car produced from 1953 through the 1962nd This is the first generation of Chevrolet Corvettes built and marketed by Chevrolet.

Design

Although the style of a car can be important for certain how the car runs, automobile manufacturers did not start paying attention to car designs until the 1920s. It was not until 1927, when General Motors hired designer Harley Earl, that automotive styling and design became important to American automakers. What Henry Ford did for automobile principles, Harley Earl did for car design. Most GM flamboyant "dream car" designs of the 1950s are directly attributable to Earl, leading one journalist to comment that the designs were "the American psyche made visible." Harley Earl loved sports cars, and GIS returning after serving overseas World War II house MG, Jaguar, Alfa Romeo, etc.. Earl convinced GM that they needed to build a two-seat sports car. The result was the 1953 Corvette, unveiled to the public at this year's show Motorama car.

The original Corvette emblem incorporated an American flag design, which was abandoned due to a combination of the flag of a product is obsolete.

Taking its name from the corvette, a frigate small, maneuverable fighting (credit for the nomination goes to Myron Scott), the first Corvette virtually handmade in Flint, Michigan, Chevrolet Customer Delivery Center, became a building University Kettering University. The outer body is made of a revolutionary new composite material called fiberglass, selected in part because of steel quotas left by the war. In this new body components of standard radical Chevrolet, as the "Blue Flame" inline six-cylinder truck engine, two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, drum brakes and the line of "auto Chevrolet. Although engine power be increased somewhat, thanks to a triple carburetor exclusive consumption of the Corvette, the car's performance was decidedly mediocre.

GM is seriously considering shelving the project, leaving the Corvette to be a little more than a footnote in automotive history, and would have done if not for two important events. The first was the introduction in 1955 the first Chevrolet V8 engine (a 265 in ³ {4.3} L) since 1919 and the second was the influence of a Soviet immigrant in GM's engineering department, Zora Arkus-Duntov . Arkus-Duntov simply took the new V8 and backed by a three-speed manual transmission. This modification, probably the greatest in automotive history, helped turn the Corvette from a two-seat curiosity into a real artist. He also earned Arkus-Duntov the rather inaccurate nickname "Father of the Corvette."

The first generation is generally regarded as a rigid axle, based on the fact that independent rear suspension (IRS) was not available before 1963.

Fuel Injection

The first generation began in 1953 and completed in 1962, and a significant addition to the optional fuel injection in 1957. This new system first saw regular use of a gasoline engine two years before the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster "Gullwing". Although the Corvette GM-Rochester injection used a constant flow style fuel system, contrary to the diesel style nozzle measuring system is the Mercedes' six cylinders, the system nevertheless produced about 290HP. The number was reduced to an advertising agency for the Chevrolet 283HP/283 ³ (4.6 l) hp Fri ³ slogan, so it is' one of the first series engines in history to reach 1 hp / ³. In 1962, GM Small Block 327 has been extended ³ (5.4 L) and increased to 360 hp (268 kW). Other early options included Power Windows (1956), Hydraulic Power Roof (1956), four-speed manual transmission (mid 1957), and heavy brake and suspension options (1957).

Compared with British sports cars and Italian of the day was low-power Corvette, has required a great effort and the way to end, and even missed a pass-through "good" manual. Until now, the Chevrolet division of GM brand entry level, known for excellent car, but without frills. Nowhere is that more evident than in the Corvette. A compressor Paxton became available in 1954 as a dealer-installed option which greatly improves the performance of the Corvette in a straight line, but sales continued to decline.
