75 Years of Suburbans
 

Hello all,

Just saw this article - not real in depth, and they have a few errors (no big block until 1973?) ... but some cool photos. The 1972 is way in the back...but it's a nice looking one:

Awesome pics and info

It helps to remind people of the obvious sometimes ... burbans have been around a long time.

Tho I am one to ignore those other motor companys that tried to use the name.

Nice set of pictures.

Here's the link to the GM article: http://media.gm.com/content/media/us...24_gm_suburban

Still can't see anything talking about big block engines at either link though???

Pulled into the local chevy dealer last weekend and saw a real sharp, new burb and took a look. It has some 75th anniversary badges on it. The last look was at the window sticker, 59k?!?!

Wow, I'll stay with the vintage stuff.

Hi All,

Just followed my own link above...and they seemed to have changed the article - when I first read it they broke down the years and did a brief paragraph or two on updates and such...that's where they said the 1973 models where the first to offer a big block. Seem to be just left with the photos now though - which are nice - but there were even more photo. oh well...
