For Sale: 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad in Novato, California for sale in Novato, CA
Vehicle Description Model History History of the 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad A nicely restyled body made Chevy news in 1956, while all model series nomenclature (150, 210, Bel Air) carried over unchanged from 1955.
The Stovebolt six remained standard engine, and the coveted 265 V-8 was again an option.
But power hungry buyers were treated to an even greater V-8, first in the form of the Super Turbo- Fire 265, rated at a then-hefty 205 horses.
This powerful small-block was followed in January 1956 by a dual-carburetor option, a 225-horse screamer borrowed from the Corvette.
Getting to 60 mph from rest required a scant 8.
9 seconds, a sensational achievement for the day.
A stylish four-door hardtop model joined the Bel Air lineup in 1956, bringing the body style count to seven.
Along with the classic two-door Nomad wagon, repeat styles included two- and four-door sedans, two-door hardtops and convertibles, and a four-door station wagon.
