Chevrolet Suburban celebrates 75th anniversary
The Chevrolet Suburban is, or was, very popular in the United States and continues to be popular in GCC countries such as Saudi Arabia, where the ability to carry your ten children over rugged terrain is a daily necessity. Surprisingly, the Chevrolet Suburban has been in existence for 75 long years, and GM estimates that up to 2.4 million have been built. General Motors decided to celebrate by bringing together all the iterations of the Suburban over the years for an American media jaunt, while conveniently ignoring the rebadged GMC version. Models from 1936, 1946, 1951, 1966, 1972, 1990, 1999 and 2002 were at hand from GM’s U.S. Heritage Center, while a 75th anniversary Diamond edition of the current Chevy Suburban was introduced.

I’ve got so much to say about these different model years but don’t know where to start and what to leave out. White wall tires, wing mirrors, spoke-less wheels, fuel filler inlet, ground clearance, two-piece windshield, grille shapes and thats only the exterior. It’s amazing to realize the gradual (and sometimes dramatic) changes that have taken place over time on a single model. It even become a school bus once lol 😛
