Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this stunning 1949
GMC Suburban. After the war people were lined up waiting for
General motors to start rolling out the new pickup line. That
featured a new, larger windshield, bigger side and rear window
glass, and optional rear-quarter windows vastly improved safety and
drivability. Higher and wider cab doors made entry and exit easier.
Another new feature, which further contributed to driver comfort
and safety, was a fresh-air heater/defroster system, which brought
fresh outside air into the cab and forced used air out through
vents at the rear of the cab. This History on Suburban's can be
dated back to the start of their production back in 1935. As it
stands today at the longest continuous use Automobile nameplate in
production and has traditional been one of General Motors' most
profitable vehicle. The design of these Suburban's would be use for
years to come and would go on to inspire the design of the
Chevrolet HHR over half a century later. This stunning Suburban is
powered by a 228 CID inline 6, sending all that towing power to an
easy to you 3 Speed manual transmission. The front passenger seat
pivots forward to allow passengers in the rear seat! This amazing
machine is equipped with 3 row seating, AM Radio, Bias Ply Tires,
Hub Caps, Vinyl Interior and White Wall Tires. This Suburban is
super cool and ready to show or use. To view the vehicle running
