Fifty years later, Superior Glass Works (out of Oregon) has resurrected a limited number (25) of Superior 54 Sport Wagons.
From being a GM idea back in the 50s, the Chevy Nomad-inspired vehicle has come back to try and claim the stylish glory it never fully encompassed.
Its glorious curves scream old-school but its $125,000 price tag screams modern-day excess. The only real thing this baby is missing is a LS type engine of your choice (which is too bad).
Nonetheless the 54 Sport Wagon is a beautiful rendition of a classic.
