How many of you know what '58 Chev body style this belongs on? OK Rruuff, I know you know, so don't let the cat out of the bag too quickly.

Here's a picture of a 1958 Chevrolet Yeoman station wagon. Note the badge just behind the door.

Now that we have a picture, please explain the difference between a Yoeman and a Delray....

I thought that was obvious. Yoeman single colour, Delray two-tone. lol At least the assembly guys used the same holes to mount their die cast emblems.

I don't think there was a Yeoman "car". Delray wagons had panel sides, not glass, and Delray's came in car form, "I think"......I'm going on memory.

OK, this got me curious, so I googled it. The result follows.
The Chevrolet Yoeman was a station wagon produced by Chevrolet for the 1958 model year. The Yeoman was available in two models, a two door and a four door. The Yeoman represented the entry level selection in the 1958 Chevrolet station wagon line up , which also included the Brockwood and the Nomad.

Back in the day the main difference between models was the trim level.
From my memory if it had side windows it was a station wagon, if there were no windows it was a sedan delivery. Just the way I remember it..

We have seen this engineering feat before but here is another angle of this road going house on wheels

Not too sure if this is an "engineering feat", I'm thinking more like a "feat of stupidity on a galactic scale"

The precursor to the modern day RV.

Can you imagine trying to find a place to fill the tank on the beast with todays modern semi closed gas stations? It would come down to a story and a half in a big hurry.

According to Wikepedia, Winnebago was founded in Feb of 1958. Could it be that this is an early prototype!?!?

It very well could be.

I think it has a bamboo roof rack ?!?! .... I googled it and they are a thing. Although it shouldn't be a surprise, they use bamboo for scaffolding on high rise construction projects in Asian countries.

True, but you missed the most important part of this jewel. Looks like the side pipes are really a skid bar for this low rider, weighted down by the surf board.
