<VV> Nomads were NOT hardtops (was Origin of Corvair name)

[Mark]

the '57 Nomad in my driveway would disagree.  Nomads are two door hardtop
wagons.  It would probably be easier to convert a 2 door Bel Air hardtop
into a convertible than to take any wagon and make into a Nomad, as any
other two door wagons (or 4 door for that matter) had pillars/window frames.

The forward sloping piece is part of the top, not the door.
