This 1959 Nash Rambler Wagon is like nothing you've ever seen before. The super slick new custom body and two-tone paint makes it look like a mini Nomad, and there's even plenty of Chevy V8 power under the hood.This is the classic that gets attention at every cruise-in, car show, and stoplight. It's a true custom build that Rambler fans even know this is quite special. Let's start with the paint. Yes, it's just as glossy in person as it appears on your screen. The two-tone teal and white has been custom sprayed to look just like the '56 Chevy Nomad. You can really tell that a professional hand applied the paint, because it even has silver pinstriping to mimic the Nomad's intricate side brightwork. While the paintwork was a huge investment alone, this is far from the only custom piece. The chrome bumpers have been redone; there's a new grille; and the rear windows are a complete custom fabrication to look just like the Nomad. Not all of this Rambler is about being a Chevy. The hood is borrowed from a Volvo, and the power bulge is a hint as the monster that lives under the hood (more on that in a moment.) Add a set of bright REV alloy wheels in a staggered size for a cool aggressive stance, and this has a unique style that can't help but draw crowds.When you open the door, the same teal and white on the panels are a great touch that let's everyone know how thorough this build really is. The teal also is used throughout the interior, including on the custom bucket seats with a cup holder center console in between. The driver gets a classic Chevy steering wheel, and beyond that is a dash with more coordinating teal and white-faced Classics Instruments gauges. You have the convenience of an AM/FM/CD stereo, but really your favorite soundtrack with be the big rumble that comes out of the dual exhaust.Just in case you weren't convinced that this was going to take home all the awards, take a look under the hood. We dare to find you one more component on this motor that can be chromed. But beyond all this glitz is some serious power. It's a 350 cubic-inch small-block that's been performance-built with Dart Machinery cylinder heads, four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and HEI distributor. The total output is 330hp, and so you also have a new aluminum radiator with electric fan to keep the huge power cool even in traffic. This was built to be more than just powerful. It's reinforced by a more modern Chevy S10 chassis, and that also means the ease of its independent front suspension and front disc brakes. Add in the power steering and a four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive, and this is a power package that's comfortable enough to drive anywhere. This is a true marvel wrapped in a complete build that only has 2,590 miles on the odometer. It's a Rambler that is faster and looks better than most Chevys. They won't even know what category to put you in at the car show! But which ever one they choose, this one is the odds-on winner. Call today!!!
