Vehicle Description
Literally no other automotive nameplate occupies the same
time-tested status as the Suburban. Getting its start all the way
back in 1935, some eleven generations later it's the longest
continuously running brand in automotive history. This 1972 Chevy
Suburban is a fitting homage to that extensive legacy. Combining
classic styling with some aesthetic and feature upgrades, it's one
seriously tasteful and unique SUV for the ages.
Although five generations had hit the market before this one, it
was this '72 model in particular that fueled a sharp rise in SUV
sales that would carry on to this day. Sure, the earlier versions
sold, but this '72 really caught people's attention and sold
literally four times better than its counterpart some five years
earlier. Look at this Suburban and you can see why. It's got a
classic ruggedness to it, sturdier and beefier than earlier
versions. Its red exterior complements that timeless look while at
the same time giving it a definite vitality. Some well-applied and
tasteful modifications combine with the Suburban's standard styling
features to create an SUV with a decidedly custom yet utilitarian
appearance. Sure, it's a conversation piece, but you could also see
yourself behind the wheel, taking the family out on adventures. It
sits just a little lower than most, but still with plenty of
clearance for its custom wheels. It's got a very distinctive look
from the sides, with one door on the driver's side and two on the
passenger side. This '72 goes one better in the customization
department, adding a set of ambulance-style doors that replace the
standard liftgate with an almost gull-wing appearance when open.
The spacious chrome grille, bumpers and mirrors look good and very
much in place in their stock configuration.
Inside is a very comfortable-looking and well thought out interior.
Its sheer spaciousness is impressive as well - plenty of room for a
contingent of passengers. The modern, high backed bucket seats are
decked out in tan with black accents, a color combination mirrored
by the two additional bench seats, door panels and balance of the
exterior as well, and are accented by tan carpeting below. The dash
carries the same red paint as its exterior, with black accents on
the glove box, lower trim and instrument panel that visually
connect it to the rest of the interior. The black center console,
with its ample storage space and cup holders, adds modern
convenience. Other modern-day touches include: an updated A/C
system that blows nice and cold, a modern AM/FM stereo that
occupies the center most position in the stock dash, a set of TV
monitors that have been installed into the backs of the headrests
for the viewing pleasure of those in the second row and a speaker
enclosure that houses a 10" Pioneer subwoofer sits behind the
second row and in front of the way-back third row of seating,
decked out in carpeting matching the rest of interior.
A Chevy 350V8 sits in this amply-sized and exceedingly clean engine
compartment that's been decked out in flat black paint that makes
the engine and components, including chrome valve covers and air
cleaner, really jump out at you. The hoses, belts and wires all
look plenty fresh, well-organized and grime free. With its 4-speed
automatic transmission, you'll have an easier time dealing with
stop and go conditions. Additional conveniences include a tilt
column, power steering and power brakes all the way around, with
discs in front. The stance on this Suburban is decidedly modern and
low, and its sizable 20" rims sporting the signature Chevy bowtie
in their centers and wrapped in low profile tires, further its
custom look. Underneath, the dual exhaust is surrounded by a nice,
straight undercarriage that looks exceedingly unblemished for the
decades of duty this venerable SUV has provided.
Looking for a truly unique classic SUV that's equipped for the
present and waiting to take you and your passengers on a new
chapter of adventures? This '72 Chevy Suburban is the one for you!!
