My good friend Carlos, in Santa Fe, NM sent me some old photos of his family's mini-fleet of sedan deliveries for their dry cleaning and laundromat operation, which is still family owned and operated in Santa Fe to this day. Thank you Carlos, it was most appreciated!
I'm guessing this had to be taken in the mid-'50's. Here we see (from Rt. to Lt.) a '53, and '54 Sedan Deliveries, and a '54 Bel Air station wagon. Notice the difference in the windshield heights between the '54 wagon, and the '54 SD. Chevy kept the '53 body for the SD in '54.
This later photo came in a little small, but you can see their Sedan Delivery fleet was at this time composed (from back to front) of a a '57, a '58, and a rare even for its model year (and even rarer today) '60. In this lineup, the '57 was in the 150 Utility series, the '58 was in the Delray series, and the '60 was in the Biscayne series. Too bad we don't have Wayback Machines.....
