Grex Cars Item 71: Chevy Nomad
Entered by mcpoz on Fri Sep 1 23:58:27 UTC 1995:

On the history channel, they had a bit about Chevrolet.  In this story, they
showed a 1953/54 corvette concept car which was a station wagon design.  It
was called the Nomad and it had the same roofline which was later incorported
into the 1955-57 Chevy Nomad and the 1955-57 Pontiac Safari wagons.

Trivia item for you mid-50's buffs.

  This was the car featured in "Stand and Deliver'. One very hip ride, if you
ask me. ;)

I never saw "Stand & Deliver" - I take it is a movie - from what era?
I'll watch for it.

  The eighties.  Stand and Deliver is a movie about a teacher at Garfield High
in Los Angeles named Jaime Escalante. Senor Escalante teaches AP calculus,
and he taught it to a lot of ghetto and barrio kids, thus saving them from
thier lifestyle, and a life of crime. Truly inspiring. in 1984, he passed 84
students on AP calculus. He still teaches at Garfield High.
