Re: Why do they all say "rare" 3 door
thats how I got mine guy was selling it on CL asking $1000 just a couple of lines. he never even mentioned the fact it was a 3-door and no pic. When i talked to him on the phone he didn't even know it only had 3 doors!

that's not so true.Did you ever hear the story why they did not make the 4 door suburban.in 1965-66 Internal travail-all. I know you heard of the name well Let just say that the reason why GM decided that it would only have a 3 door and not a 4 door modal was a small accident Back in Ohio or one of them back states.It was on a rainy Wednesday and a 1964 Internal travail all had a 5 year old kid.Its a sad story it was a YELLOW AND WHITE THE KID OPEN THE DOOR A TRACTOR SEMI PEALED HIM LIKE A ONION and PAINTED THE SIDE OF THAT TRUCK RED.SALES IN ANY WAGON OR SUBURBAN OR CARRY ALL DROPPED.IT SCARED GM in 1966 there where fewer buys for modals that had a door on the drivers side.
GM had 25 of the 1967 chevy and GMC carryalls finished They felt kids where not responsible enough to get out on oncoming traffic.Look to day people are so stupid to standing out in traffic with there doors open or letting a kid run out in front of traffic to get in on the drivers side. Almost every other day i drive my 1965 3/4 ton and i have to dodge people with there open door's in traffic lanes I talked to a CHP and a few cop's ask them about the door being open in on coming traffic Most of them told me to try to avoid it4 of them said take it off.They told me the Law is very straight in this area. even tho you are a pedestrian But a car truck Van door is open in on coming traffic the person that owns the car with the door open is at fault 100%. The Law even goes even further saying if bodily harm is caused by this act the person with the car that is strucked holds all liability for persons being harmed or Killed. that being said the person that hits and kills that kid or who ever can sue for damages.in both property and metal damage |

I never heard the Travelall story. So are you saying GM had 25 1967 4 door Suburbans finished but scrapped them after finding out about an accident that happened in 1965/66? If it was true then why didn't GM change all their station wagon bodys to 3 doors also for "public safety" reasons? |
