1956 Chevy NomadFor Iggy Pop, it all started with a 1956 Chevy Nomad, which he picked up as a high school student in 1965. The musician describes his first ride as a "surfer car" and used the Nomad to pass his driving test. He bought it with money he had earned during the early stages of his budding music career. Despite his performances paying for the car and the fact there was plenty of room inside, the legendary musician didn't buy it for hauling gear around. He preferred to use a trailer hitched to a bandmate's vehicle, a van, or a car borrowed from a roadie to transport equipment to gigs. If it were still around these days, Iggy Pop's 1956 Chevy Nomad would be an undisputed classic. Unfortunately, it ended its life off the road somewhere in northern Michigan. Pop lost control on a gravel road, rolled it, and wrote it off. He didn't bother to replace the Nomad either and instead entered a decades-long spell with nothing but rental cars in his garage.
