The Classic Nomad was a car in the 1970 Hot Wheels series, based on the 1955 Chevrolet Nomad, part of Chevy's top-of-the-line Bel-Air series.

All versions were issued with clear windows, a white interior, cap-style wheels, and an unpainted metal base with a USA manufacturing location.

Retooled Versions

After being out of the line-up for 13 years the '55 Chevy Nomad was retooled for the 1991 "California Customs" series. It was named either the '55 Nomad or Classic Nomad depending on what series it was released in.

For the 2018 release, the Nomad was retooled again. It now looks more like the original Nomad. The hood scoops are now more prominent.
