SW on the right. Chevy Impala? |

Yes sixcyl, it's a 1960 Chevrolet. Very little side trim make me think it's more akin to the Biscayne or Bel Air lines. I think Chevy wagons had their own model names in 1960. Not sure though. |

In '60 the Biscayne wagon was the Brookwood. The Bel Air wagons were Parkwood (6pass) and Kingswood (9pass) and the Impala was the Nomad. Not sure which this is. |

Wasn't there a model called the Yeoman? |

I don't think so. I have been leafing through my copy of The Standard Catalog of American Cars. Back in around 1956 Chev did a base wagon called a Handyman and the Bel Air wagon was the Beauville but I can find no reference to a Yeoman. Studebaker used a few odd names for thier wagons in the '50s also. |

Thanks for the info. I know I've seen that model name somewhere. Another reason to stay awake tonight! -- Last edit: 2007-04-07 11:13:23 |

Yes, but only in 1958. This one was from 1960, and has four taillights, so it's not an Impala-based wagon. -- Last edit: 2007-04-07 15:56:07 |

Thanks for that Ddey, I had another look at the Standard Catalog - the Yeoman was the wagon in the base Del Ray series in '58. |

Too much trim to be a Brookwood; must be a Parkwood or Kingswood. |

Yes it is a Chevrolet 6 seater Parkwood or 9 seater Brookwood in the Bel Air series , 1960 |
