Vehicle Description
Chevrolet and their Suburban brand has been a staple of their
lineup for decades and very few realized that this model was
produced in the 50's as well on a 3100 � ton truck platform.
Designed and marketed for the larger families that need room for
gear and seating for 8 or however many you wanted to cram into the
3 rows of seats.
We are so excited to offer this amazing '52 Chevrolet Suburban that
was completely restored to factory specs and a pain staking process
that took over 5yrs to complete and 99% of the parts were NOS found
all over the country to retain its authenticity and to be judged at
the highest standards. This car was acquired by the previous owner
over 34yrs ago and immediately was stripped and dissembled for its
long and thorough restoration. Vehicle is near flawless on all
levels from inside, outside and underneath. Even the engine bay is
in a spotless detail state along with mechanically. It fires up
with ease, engages into gear very nicely and runs at 55mph without
hesitation.
The car was judged by the Vintage Chevrolet Club of America three
different times and invited to the Antique Automobile Club of
America (AACA) Hersey Fall Meet which is a great honor. In 1991 the
car scored 986 points out of 1000 and winning "Commercial Best of
Show" award. In 2009 it received a score of 991 out of 1000 and
then in 2013 was scored with 989 points and receiving the
"Preservation Award" If you are aware of the judging at these
events you then realize how meticulous these judges are and
deducting points for a wrong bolt or a stain on the engine fuel
line. They expect the car to be in the condition as when it left
the factory if not nicer, so the dedication to detail and overall
condition is very impressive with this vehicle.
The car has over the past 25+ years been enjoyed at local car
shows, short drives to dinner and wiped with a diaper in the heated
garage. This car is a work of art and will be appreciated by all
and only will continue to appreciate as these are almost extinct in
this type of condition. Vehicle is highlighted with the grey
pinstripe, chestnut interior with brown trim, running boards,
rubber front floor mat, AM radio, 216 inline 6cyl with 91HP and
chrome that looks new. Vehicle comes with judging sheets, pictures
during restoration, owner's manual and shop manual.
