Vanlife 1979: Chevrolet Nomad

 

From Jonathan Welsh, in Maine: I think two-tone paint garners extra points these days. Back in 8th grade, when vans like this were everywhere, I thought they were the essence of uncool. Today I would take this one as-is. Oh-so 1970s. We spotted this well-preserved machine in Deer Isle Village.

AL: we posted a 1985 Chevrolet Beauville onBeacon Hill in Boston in April. And some vanlife of a different era: a 1961 Chevrolet Greenbrier. And then there was Bob Dylan and the Chevy van on Jones Street in 1961.
