Re: Show me your 55-59 Suburbans/Panels please

Re: Show me your 55-59 Suburbans/Panels please

I saw a panel/suburban this summer while on vaction...it had 4 doors on the passenger side and one door on the left(drivers). The front clip was gone but it was a 55-59 model year. What was that vehicle made for? Taxi?, tour bus?...(unfortunately did not have a camera....)
