"Yeoman" was the nameplate of the 2-door wagons in '58. They were a "bare-bones" trim level.

The '58-61 Nomads were only 4-oors.


What's the difference between a Yeoman and the DelRay? The sedan delivery is a DelRay, same two door as a wagon but no windows. The only other difference is a 1 piece lift gate instead of the 2 piece tailgate, oh and bucket seats.

The true 2 door Nomads (1955-57) had too many one off pieces to make them cost effective. With annual sales in the 7000 range GM pulled the plug on something no one apparently wanted at the time.
4 dor sedans and wagons outsold all others.

In 58 Yeoman was the wagon version of the Delray. Brookwood was the wagon version of the Biscayne and Nomad was a BelAir wagon. Don't know why they used Delray for the sedan delivery other than to distinguish it from the wagon.
