First introduced in 1935, the Chevrolet Suburban has become one of the longest-running models in automotive history. Initially known as the “Carryall Suburban”, it represented a major step forward in Chevrolet’s thinking and was intended to compete with Ford in the growing market for light trucks. While Chevrolet light truck bodies shared the same tooling used for passenger cars since 1918, the truck line received unique body styling and tooling in 1934. From this point forward, the light truck line bore only a familial resemblance to Chevrolet’s passenger-car lineup. In addition, Chevrolet light trucks moved away from the boxy styling of the 1932 passenger-car line, incorporating rounder lines and a slightly raked windshield for a fresher, more modern look.

In 1935, Chevrolet created what is arguably the predecessor to the modern sport-utility vehicle. The Carryall Suburban was based on the front sheetmetal and frame of the half-ton Canopy Express panel truck, along with new large side windows. The addition of two rear bench seats provided roomy accommodations for eight passengers. Cargo access was via a pickup truck-style tailgate.

Powered by a 206.8-cid, 80-hp overhead valve inline six-cylinder engine, the Chevy also has a three-speed synchromesh manual transmission, beam front axle and live rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs and four-wheel hydraulic brakes. The brown interior of this car was marketed as beautiful, luxurious and comfortable with exceptional durability. This cars interior has definitely withstood the test of time and is presented in stunning fashion.
