What does this chassis belong to? It’s a flea market find that someone was trying to put an AMT ‘55 Nomad body on

Thanks, Greg.?

Purely a shot in the dark, but maybe the Revell '55 Chevy chassis. I haven't built the Revell Chevy, but the chassis looks like an era-correct Chevy chassis. The bracing looks like it may even be a convertible chassis.

Thanks Trevor, you could be correct. The different spare tire location would make sense. Here it is beside a Revell ‘56 Nomad chassis. And an AMT ‘55 Nomad on the left.

The gunmetal gray plastic points to an early issue Revell-Monogram '55 convertible.  I'm pretty sure that the newer tool '56 chassis has a separate gas tank part, to allow for the difference between the '56 sedan and Nomad.

Based on the cross bracing of the frame would lead you to think this is for a convertible and the front suspension sure looks like maybe the Revell '57 Chevrolet Convertible.
