1958 Chevrolet Yeoman

We can't talk about the Delray without discussing the windowed version, the Yeoman. Offered with two or four doors, the Yeoman was the station wagon intended for families, while the Delray Delivery was for utility services. With those notable exceptions, they were the same car and you needed to shell out for a Brookwood or Nomad to move up the line. GM designed in what they considered better safety to the frame, but it's notable that it was discovered that it was actually less safe than before. And you thought GM did dumb things only in modern times! Once again, this was a one year only model and then it was gone.

  1. Oh my, was that that three-tone interior stock? That is "snazzy"! (there's a word you don't see much any more)

    1. Awesome, huh? I'm thinking it's not OEM, as the Delray was famous for the gorgeous two-tone vinyl interiors. And as much as I hate vinyl, I've always loved the Delray options.
