For Sale: 1953 Chevrolet Suburban in Ft Worth, Texas

Vehicle Description

Originally a Navy Fleet vehicle, this 1953 Chevrolet Suburban Carry-All now parades in a striking two-tone Burgundy and Black finish with classic styling that captures automotive Americana at its most functional. The two-door SUV's appearance is completed with gleaming chrome bumpers, headlight casings, and a beautiful grille that emphasize its brawny lines. White wall Coker Classic tires (235/75R15 front, 215/75R15 rear) wrap around 15-inch wheels accented with chrome Chevrolet hub caps for a period-correct aesthetic. The sliding rear side windows and overall excellent body fitment showcase the quality of its full restoration.

The custom gray vinyl interior offers a perfect balance of classic style with modern comfort upgrades. Bucket seats with vinyl upholstery anchor the cabin alongside a meticulously built center console. The banjo-style steering wheel sits atop a tilt column, paired with Classic Instruments gauges including a column-mounted tachometer for accurate engine monitoring. A Kenwood AM/FM/CD/AUX head unit with remote control provides entertainment options, while the Vintage Air Gen IV Magnum system delivers air conditioning, heat, and defrost capabilities for year-round comfort regardless of weather conditions.

A GM 5.0L V8 engine provides reliable power for this classic hauler, fed by an Edelbrock 600 CFM carburetor sitting atop an Edelbrock intake manifold. The three-speed TH350 automatic transmission ensures smooth operation with minimal effort. Performance upgrades include long tube headers flowing into a dual exhaust system, power disc brakes on all four corners, and power steering courtesy of a mid-1970s Camaro front clip. The cooling system features a Be Cool radiator with electric fan, maintaining optimal temperature even during prolonged idling.
