The Appeal

Ever since 1935, the Chevrolet Suburban has been America's preferred method of transporting multiple passengers in a rugged off-roader. This 1971 example has been brought right up to date with the addition of modern infotainment, driver aids and air suspension. Converted to run on LPG, it is less of a draw on the wallet too and we’re pretty sure you’re unlikely to see another Suburban quite like it.

If you’re after something a bit different, why not consider this intriguing custom creation?
