....here's a few painted prototype samples. This should be released within 8-10 weeks. 1956 & '57 Nomads will follow but probably no sooner than sometime in 2025.

That one looks great ! The color combo is excellent and I like the spare under it's cover.
I have the really nice 1/18 1955 Maisto edition in this same terrific color scheme and also a silver/grey 1957 Yat Ming release which was a 1/18 of the final production Nomad released by Chevrolet.
Much later, Chevy did a "dream" Nomad which was also done in 1/18, but I don't have that diecast model.

The perfect model that just begs for some customization!

....not my cup of tea, I love them bone stock, but you can bet the farm that ACME has several variants already on the drawing board! I expect to see SEVERAL customized 1/18 Nomads.

I suspect you are correct. I'm betting this model is going to be a big seller for ACME.

Yep! And the '56 & '57 will be even bigger hits than the '55. Unfortunately, I only have a '56 prototype pic. I can't wait!

@chris - Personally, I like the '55 better because of the radiased rear wheelwell design feature. The '56 and '57 used the standard configuration.

...and that's why I prefer '56 & '57s. I love "big & little" F&R wheel opening seen on postwar cars up until the 1980's. The '55 Nomad could "wear" full-size rear wheel openings because side trim was eliminated.
