A sedan delivery is a 2-door wagon with a single row of seats and no side windows on the cargo area. Chevy built them through 1960 and Pontiac (for Canada only) through 1958. Ford offered a Falcon sedan delivery through 1965. They were fairly rare even when new; Chevy built only 8,000 in 1955.
* This car has a rear door that hinges at the top like a modern hatchback. Regular Chevy wagons had a rear door that opens at the side.
* I'd say there's nothing left of this car's original drive train; it probably came from the factory with a straight 6 and three-speed transmission. This was a no-frills model.
* Neil Young wrote a song called Sedan Delivery, but it is not about cars.

1957 Pontiac Safari
Everybody loves the Chevy Nomad, the "hardtop" 2-door wagon sold from 1955-57. But few are aware that Pontiac sold the same car with different trim. Slightly more than 20,000 Nomads were sold during the 3-year production run compared to only 9,000 Safaris.
