In automotive history several companies in the United States used
the Suburban designation to indicate a windowed, station wagon type
body on a commercial frame including Dodge, Plymouth, Studebaker,
Nash, Chevrolet and GMC. Chevrolet began production of its
all-steel carryall-suburban in 1935. GMC brought out its version in
1937. Focused on functionality, these vehicles were originally
known as the Suburban Carryall, the concept was literally to carry
all - the whole family and their gear were to find enough space in
one truck. As the success of the multipurpose truck grew GM
eventually cut the name to simply Suburban. Sharing the same front
sheet metal and frames of the half-ton pickup models of the same
era these all-metal wagon bodies differed very little in shape from
contemporary woody wagons. Seating for up to eight occupants was
available, with three in the front row, two in the middle row and
three in the rear row. These early models were offered in versatile
formats that included a choice of either tailgate style or barn
panel style rear doors. The third generation Suburban was only
built in model years 1941, 1942 and 1946 and during the war it
remained as a military transport vehicle. This exquisite example
has been restored to original perfection and includes its 216
cubic-inch six-cylinder engine which features a period-correct
Wayne-Chevy cylinder head and Offenhauser intake manifold. Wayne
and Offenhauser were the premiere Chevrolet high-performance
aftermarket manufacturers of the day. The exterior sheet metal
looks like it is new with a terrific two-tone paint scheme with red
accent striping. All the chrome, glass and trim are excellent. The
high-level quality carries over into the cavernous interior that
features vinyl bench seating and superbly finished wood flooring.
