That's a Flippin Wet Dream !!!

Overheating issues, I'm running a 16" electric, 16" mech and still had heating issues, put a radiator shroud on and the problem was solved. You need a shroud with this much heat.

How much horse power did this thing have before you fixed it up.

[twistedyogert]

sound reminds me of nascar stock cars.

[dingo27mobile]

dude where is your seatbelt?

[jamie381]

@dingo27mobile before 1976 most vehicles did not have seatbelts because they were not required.

[jamessfromtx]

[joe85043]

Nice ride

[812doug812]

The '56 Nomad is arguably the best looking Nomad of them all!!!

[TheNightrider88]

Well, I doubt that this one can make 200+ MPH, but how about 150?

[MiracleMile90]

@TheNightrider88: Probably significantly faster with the right gear ratios.................

[AxonHilock]

Sounds Great!!! What kind of exhaust/mufflers do you have on it? Thanks!

[willDANCEforPENNIES]

VERY nice car! i love chevys, especially 50's chevys!

[Auggie56]

Ah another fine 56' !

[jeditigg]

What kind of radiator do you use to keep cool? Did/does this car overheat in traffic? Thanks

[800hotrod5]

A high-capacity aluminum radiator. A Be-Cool, I think., and electric fans. The vehicle has no over heating issues that I know of.

[junkersbunkers]

@800hotrod5 ugly car but sweet sound

[xxshortyownzxx]

my gramps got one. overheating is a common occurence in traffic or just stopped at red lights. but when its driving it runs great. dont know why. help would be nice. also run's high 13's in the 1/4 but built in the 70's so all old school

[Liqudgold40oz]

[Box151]

[800hotrod5]

No, that's Escondid, CA. a bit south of Laguna.

[800hotrod5]

"Escondido"

[LateNightCable]

@800hotrod5 I'm moving to Escondido in a month or so. Does this Nomad ever show at the 'Cruisin' Grand'?

BAD ASS STREET MACHINE

[karstdg]

I saw the vw bus too. I want to see a Studebaker. Can I buy one?

[HeadTater]

A Studebaker? Sure, you can buy one. Check out eBay motors. Last time I checked, there were a couple dozen Studebakers there. Just try to browse some site like eBay motors and your local listings until you find what you are looking for. The Studebaker Drivers' Club site could also be of great help if you wnat to purchase or reasearch.
