At first I thought this was a Nomad. I thought all two-door Chevy wagons from the fifties were Nomads. I knew this was a '58 because of the tail lights. However, when I went to look it up, it turned out that for 1958, the Nomad was only available as a four-door! Quel mystere! On the same page (first link above), I discovered the Yeoman, which was available as a two-door for 1958. However, the wagon in this picture does not have a C-pillar, which is the last roof support before the back of the car. The windshield supports are the "A" pillars, the rear of the front door the "B", etc. Quel Grand mystere!
Chevy In Chains
So many great old cars are behind chain link. I hate shooting them like that, but sometimes that's all you can get. At first, I thought this was a Biscayne, because it looks like it only has four taillights. But then I saw the little Impala badge near the end of the left rear fender. I was fairly certain that Impalas always had six tail lights... Also, there's an interesting note about the roof line. Those creases in the roof are meant to emulate the ribs of a convertible. America has always loved the convertible, but so many people couldn't justify buying one because of maintenance, security and price, so for a while, Chevy creased the roofs to appeal to that ragtop lust. (That's the reason behind the Landau roof, too...)
Ol One Eye
Shot in July of 2008. I got a lot of great shots that weekend in northern NV. Sure does seem to be a lot Ford trucks out there. I don't know if that means they sold more, or if more of them ended up disabled, but they do seem to be in the majority.
