| | The '''Chevrolet Yeoman''' was a [[station wagon]] produced by [[Chevrolet]] for model year 1958. The Yeoman was available in two models, a two-door and a four-door, both with six passenger seating capacity. Based on the [[Chevrolet Delray|Delray]] passenger car series, the Yeoman represented the entry-level selections in the 1958 Chevrolet station wagon lineup, which also included the [[Chevrolet Brookwood|Brookwood]] and the [[Chevrolet Nomad|Nomad]]. Either an inline six-cylinder or [[V8]] engine could be installed. The Yeoman was dropped (along with the Delray) for 1959, effectively making it one-year wonder. |

| |
| | |
| '''1955 Second Series''' - First year for new body style. New "wrap-around" windshield - a truck industry first<ref>[http://www.pickuptruck.com/html/history/chev_segment6.html Bunn, Don. "Segment Five: 1955-1959 Early V8 Pickups", Pickuptruck.com.] Retrieved on [[July 2]], [[2008]].</ref> - and optional wrap-around rear window on Deluxe cabs.<ref>[http://www.LMCtruck.com "LMC Truck Catalog"], Winter 2007/2008</ref> Power steering and power brakes are now available for the first time on GM trucks.

Fenders have single headlights and one-piece emblem is mounted below horizontal line on fender.<ref>[http://www.classicparts.com/frame-truck-years.html "What Year is My Truck?", Classicparts.com.] Retrieved on [[July 2]], [[2008]].</ref>

| | |
| '''1956''' - Wider hood emblem. Two-piece fender emblems are now mounted above horizontal fender line. Last year for egg crate grille.
| |
| | |
| '''1957''' - Only year for more open grille. Hood is flatter with two spears on top, similar to the [[57 Chevy|1957 Bel Air]]. Fender emblems are still above fender line, but are now oval-shaped, as opposed to previous versions in script.
| |
| | |
| '''1958''' - First year for fleetside bed, significant redesign of front end. All ⅓-ton trucks are now called Apaches. Truck now has four headlights instead of the previous two and features a shorter, wider grille running the width of the front end. Parking lights are now in the grille instead of being in the front of the fender and the hood is similar to 1955/1956 models, but with a flat "valley" in the middle. First year for factory-equipped air conditioning.
| |
| | |
| '''1959''' - Minimal changes from 1958.
