In real life the Chevrolet Nomad, classed as a two-door sport wagon, had a relatively short production period, being introduced as a concept car in 1954 with full blown production a year later.  The Oxford model is based on the second-generation vehicle which Chevrolet (General Motors) launched in 1957 when it became more akin to the Chevrolet Bel Air, with long tail fins featuring the Bel Air name, a redesigned dashboard and front fascia and arguably more muted colour schemes. The two-tone option remained prevalent both inside and out. Performance wise, the car sported a 4.3L V8 engine but was considered one of the most expensive Chevrolet cars around at the time at $2571, so its sales figures proved very disappointing. It merged completely with the Bel Air name in 1958.

The colour scheme on the 1:87 scale Nomad is a delicate pale yellow with a black roof and black interior. The white wall tires also feature a fine yellow rim with red wheel centre boss. The remaining trim is chrome and black with a strip of chrome across the centre of the radiator grille carrying the signature Chevrolet badge.  Registered in North Carolina, WX-835, 57 the plate carries the words Drive Safely.
