I posted about the red Nomad on BAT a few weeks back:

Currently there is another incredibly rare 55 Nomad on Ebay;

I have never seen a 55 Nomad with leather interior.

Can't say I am too excited about the color (Navaho Tan / India Ivory), but the leather is a game changer.

I posted on the tri-five forum trying to get additional info.

My buddy Al is talking about selling his if anyone is interested, he mentioned $60K.

Doh!!

I have never seen a 55 Nomad with leather interior.



I'm highly doubtful it came from the factory like that. Just because he read it in some book doesn't carry much weight, as we've all seen books with erroneous information.

I have asked the seller for a pic of the trim tag. That should verify.

Apparently there were six combinations of Leather available in 1955.

Look at codes 541 - 546

[Big Block Bill]

And if it is truly Leather from the factory per the trim tag, you can bet it's an ugly Brown to match the factory paint colors, but "I'm just Sayin". but any which way ALL Nomads are COOL in my book! Bill

[Lynn]

Yes, it is brown and beige. Bet the interior looks better than the exterior Navaho Tan

Dave: Why did you delete your pics? I love looking at TriFives; all of them!!!!

BBBill. Have to agree about the color. That has to be the least desirable color on a 55.

Has anyone here even seen a Leather interior 55 of any model, let alone a Nomad?

I have not seen Leather in any 55. Bill

I could be wrong, but I believe the leather codes were for Nomad only.
