wickencrafts, Dude, was "Devilry" a typing mishap, or deliberate in honor of Halloween?:
"1956 Two Door Wagon Sedan Devilry in BLACK Fresh Paint Halloween 2025"
Anyway, what a wild-looking ride.
I found some interested historical technical tidbits (dunno how accurate they are, cuz I'm pretty much automobile illiterate), plus pictures:

First of all, CHEVROLET Sedan Deliveries were built,****led, and sold as TRUCKS. They were not even listed in the passenger car brochures, only in the truck brochures. That's the reason, in the old Junior Stock Class of drag racing, Deliveries were allowed to run the Hydro, the Hydro was an option in "trucks", at least for a while anyway. They also came, at baseline level, with a single, drivers side only, bucket seat, the other bucket seat was an option, as was a bench seat. The drivers bucket seat was adjustable "fore-and-aft", the passenger bucket seat only "tilted" forward. Those single seat Deliveries also only had a single, interior sun guard, and a single arm rest (both drivers side only). Wagons had a two piece, "clam shell" "tailgate", while Deliveries had a single, lift up "gate". The area behind the driver, on a Delivery, referred to as a "smugglers box", was installed in place of a rear seat. The side trim on a Delivery (except for 55 and older, and those had NO side trim) only had the horizonal trim pieces, no paint divider trim. "Most" were 6 cylinder and manual trans, everything else was an option. Headliners were always vinyl, none in the cloth like baseline 150, 210 "cars" came with. Other options paralleled those of the passenger cars (heaters, radios, etc). On the VIN tag and****le, the serial "number" for a Delivery starts with "D". There are so-called, "Windowed Deliveries", that had side glass as opposed to the steel side paneling, and other than the glass, they are virtually the same as steel sided Deliveries. Since these vehicles were meant for small businesses, such as plumbers, they usually got beat up, or used up, pretty quickly, so they are not too easy to find any longer. I'm on my fourth Sedan Delivery, the one they'll bury me in (actually, I plan on creamation, it's just a joke). That's a very nice Sedan Delivery you posted, and the color is probably the most common/popular for 1956.

wickencrafts, It really is fascinating what one can learn about an automobile just from it VIN number.
In a way, that's what started my fascination with vintage sewing machines. When I found out that I could learn the model name, the (approximate) date of manufacture, and the name of the factory for millions of Singer sewing machines just using the serial number, I was hooked.
