1957 Nomad... to restore or not to restore.

Hey... a diarama of the end of the assembly line at the Chevy plant sometime in1957,,, What a great idea!

go for it and if it fails  turn it into a model of a work in progress

Thanks for the reply, I think I'll concentrate on an exterior fix up, the paint job is the only thing that really ruins it, the glass and inside is fine. I'm currently working on a '60 Bonneville and a '62 Impala so the Nomad will have to go onto the back burner for the time being but stay tuned...

I think it looks good for being 20 years in storage. However, if you have time on your hands go for it and redo it.

I say go for it. What do you have to lose Besides it still looks good

Mate,
However you look at it, the '57 is a classic.  Go for it.
Strip the paint, polish the heck outta the glass, Bare Metal Foil the chrome trim, airbrush a new paint scheme........it'll be a winner.

And if you can't be bothered restoring the thing, I'll buy it from you!

Make sure you post pics of your restoration - I'm very interested -

I have not seen that kit for ages. It is an interesting subject and a rare kit. Poly-S makes a paint remover that works really well and does not harm the plastic. It could be worth the effort if you like the subject. Just my thoughts.
