I find that quite ironic given how Nixon started his career.

Nixon is pretty liberal in terms of economic policy, so i'm really not surprised.

As far as anybody was concerned in 1960, Nixon was economically centre-right, and if nothing else to the right than Kennedy. The only people who criticized him as "liberal"--which in itself wasn't even used, more likely to be moderate--were the Goldwaterites and such, and Goldwater gladly bowed out in deference to Nixon. And Nixon is the most ironic person for Wallace to endorse, so I'd say it's pretty surprising.
