hey TANITO, nice choice of a hobby, of course just set your google search for any cars & you'll find probably hundreds of specific pics.
I grew up in the '60s (born in '56) and cars like that Nomad were mixed into the then current lot of race cars we'd see, I lived in the burbs (Westchester county) north of NYC; hot rodders raced up n' down Central Ave in Yonkers like in American Graffiti.......
When it was my turn I had a 1971 Barracuda convertible like this (no hood pins on mine, and I had chrome bumpers) that was more show & less go. My 2nd hot rod was a '72 El Camino (dying to get a '59 El Camino) that was fast fast fast
my El Camino didn't have those ugly rails, but this was my stock paint & vinyl roof. It was pearl white when my paint guy in Mt Vernon got done with it. My Camino had several engine modifications & would gobble up an awful lot of cars on the street.
So although I saw many of the 50s/60s hot rods growing up, I was a '70s kinda guy when it came to cars. Although my very first high school car was a 1955 Oldsmobile Rocket 88, it was stock.
Born '55 stoner. My first car was a '49 Dodge I bought from my brother for $15 because it needed a Master Brake Cylinder and we couldn't get one. Sold it to a friend for $30. Then I bought a '65 Corvair convertible from my Dad's buddy who used it to drive it to go play golf. I paid him $50 for it. Sold it for $85. Bought both those cars before I was 16 and could drive. But I would drive both around the yard and into the street if I knew my mother wasn't looking. Either car would be worth HUGE bucks today.
One of my co-workers had a Catalina. We lived in LA at the time. Always joking that that car was bigger than a boat so they named it after Catalina Island off the LA coast
