This Nomad was assembled in Van Nuys, st1>California in August of 1955, he last month of 1955 model production. It was sold new to the Air Force son of a Mr. & Mrs. Evans in arid San Bernadino, st1>California. He gave it to his parents as a gift. For many years it was parked outside of their Mom & Pop Hardware store they owned locally in downtown San Bernadino. After their deaths, he car was passed through the hands of several "car enthusiasts"who started a restoration but lost interest. In 1983, he dismantled but freshly painted car ended up in the able hands of the late George Webster, lso of San Bernadino.
