1949 Suburban. Chevrolet introduced the Suburban in 1935 when the United States' population was a little more than 127 million. ln the seven and a half decades since its introduction, the Suburban became an icon and the industry's longest-running model. ln fact, Suburban is the first vehicle to reach 75 years of production. The Suburban could seat eight, while easily removable seats provided a large, 75-inch-long hy 77-incli-high (1,905 x 1,956 mm) cargo area. Torque from the inline-six engine was 174 hp at only 1,200 rpm, giving the Suburban excellent towing capability. This is a duplicate to the car the owners used for their business and camping trips.
