I have been here for a while but have been more of a lurker. Time to post a bit more.

I found this pic on FB recently, on one of our local hot rodding history pages.
It was taken in January 1976 of my first tri5. I wanted a Nomad but couldn't find one down here and ended up with this wagon.
It was almost finished at the time the pic was taken - note that it had a smoothy bumper way back then. It was not a perfect fit, and the chrome shop did a better job next time around - on my 56 Nomad and that's another story.
The 55 was painted a local GM colour Verdoro Green with a cream interior with a 283. The wires on it in the pic were replaced with a set of chromed rally wheels.
I bought my 56 Nomad later in 1976 and kept this wagon whilst I was building the Nomad, selling the wagon about 3 years later.
Cheers, Des
