The station wagon is dead in the U.S. It's not a secret and it's been like that for a few good years. But there was a time when grocery-getters were so popular that every automaker out there had a handful of different wagons in showrooms. Back in the 1950s, for instance, wagons were in such high demand that the halo model of the iconic Chevrolet Tri-Five series was a long-roof hauler. Yes, I'm talking about the Nomad.

Built from 1955 to 1957, the Chevrolet Tri-Five series was short-lived, but the GM put together many of them. With more than 1.5 million assembled each year, Chevy rolled out almost five million examples in 150, 210, and Bel Air trim. The production also included various body styles, ranging from two-door coupes to four-door station wagons. 17 photos
Some Tri-Fives get a lot more love than the others. The Bel Air Sport Coupe and the Nomad are arguably the most popular and valuable nowadays. The convertible, for instance, doesn t get as much attention as the coupe, even though it s quite the rare bird with fewer than 133,000 examples built over three years. And that s a shame because the Bel Air is one hot-looking drop-top.
