After some of the comments on last week’s photo of this 1958 Chevrolet Brookwood, I couldn’t resist lifting the title for this one from Don McLean’s song, American Pie.
As Perfesser-Bear pointed out in that discussion, the Brookwood was the station wagon version of the Chevy Biscayne. It was the mid-range wagon in the Chevrolet lineup, positioned between the Yeoman and the Nomad.

Not to mention The Jester who steals The King's thorny crown.. ;)
Sorry... couldn't resist another "American Pie" reference ha!
I once saw Don McClain on TV when the interviewer asked him what "American Pie " really meant.
He smiled and replied:
"It means that I'll never have to work for a living again" :)

Very nice shot; great catch on both the chrome and the colour scheme: Tropical Coral over Arctic White (as per the '58 Chevrolet colour chart)
I wonder if our friend Roy would have liked this wagon as much as the Edsel Villager...
I also like the white and Blue Bonnet Blue '59 Plymouth that I see in the reflection;)

Thank you so much for identifying the car being reflected. I was kicking myself for not having a photo of it for ID purposes. Thanks also for clarifying the color names. Tropical Coral sounds so inviting.
Roy may well have considered a Brookwood. Both wagons debuted in 1958. The manufacturer's suggested retail price for the Brookwood was $2678, while the Edsel's was higher at $2933. Roy may have been lured by the Teletouch transmission of the Edsel. His previous vehicle was a 1946 Ford Deluxe, so it could be that he simply felt more comfortable with another car from the Ford family.
