Chevy Suburban
The Chevrolet Suburban was created initially in 1935 as a station wagon with an all-metal chassis. Thi 8-passenger vehicle was based on a Chevy pickup chassis - the first of its kind with this configuration. The front end of the pickup was quickly redesigned in 1936, however, and it's this truck that GM chose to illustrate its evolution.
