Wagons are a dying breed as car manufacturers double down on their investments into crossovers and SUVs. However, this hasn’t stopped designer Rain Prisk from imagining what a modern-day wagon from Chevrolet could look like.
One of the most iconic wagons ever produced by a General Motors-owned brand was the Chevrolet Nomad. The car was first showcased to the world back in 1954 and entered production the following year as the most expensive Chevy on the market, other than the Corvette.
The Nomad proved to be popular enough for Chevrolet to launch a second-generation model in 1958, which it built through 1961. The Nomad name then returned in 1968 and was used to denote the wagon variant of the Chevrolet Chevelle. Rain Prisk’s modern-day Chevrolet wagon shares its name with these classics but it looks very different.

The first thing that will strike you about this creation is that, just like the original Nomad, it has just two doors. A two-door station wagon like this wouldn’t make any sense for the modern-day consumer but the design does make for a very sleek look.
Elsewhere, we can see that this modern Chevy Nomad has angular B-pillars, just like the original, while also featuring huge side windows that help make the car appear even longer than it already is. A flat roofline has also been designed to maximize interior space.
Completing the striking looks are a set of black wheels with high-profile tires, LED taillights, dual-exiting tailpipes, and a chrome accent stretching from the front wheel arches through to the tailgate.
