- It differed from other station wagons of the era by having unique styling more reminiscent of a hardtop sedan. The wrap around windshield and the rear windows were Harley Earl design trademarks.
- The Nomad's relatively short wheelbase and overall length in comparison to the rest of the Chevrolet line show modern characteristics to hatchbacks in later years.
- The platform used was GM's smallest two door body style with a rear bench seat that folded down to accommodate cargo and a two piece tailgate with a glass upper portion that swung up, with a tailgate that folded down were the features that made the Nomad very poplar.
