The 1957 Chevrolet cowl is 1" lower than on a 55 or 56 Chevrolets making the windshield 1" lower . is the 57 Nomad windshield still 1" lower than on the 55 or 56 Nomads ?
Rick , thanks for the info .
Did they produce factory solid color 1955 thru 1957 Nomads ?
Bama , thanks again . Is this the Matador Red Nomad you had just gotten ?

Bama , you say the 10 assembly plants ? They were using St. Louis for all the Corvettes, and Clevland made all the
Nomad bodies is this why you say 10 and not the 12 plants that they had ? The...
