The Appeal

It claims to be the longest used nameplate of all time. The Suburban burst onto the scene in 1935 and is still part of the Chevrolet/GMC line-up ninety years on. Effectively a beefed-up, enlarged estate car with a raft of modern conveniences and luxurious upholstery, once you've experience a Suburban of any age, it's easy to see why the model has endured for so long.

This particular example, having spent much of its life in the dry climate of New Mexico, has been meticulously maintained and is now located in Poland. It boasts a refreshed exterior with fresh paint in a charming period scheme. The vehicle retains its near-original specifications while incorporating tasteful modern upgrades such as a Bluetooth-enabled radio and a stainless steel exhaust system. With its powerful 5.7-litre V8 engine and automatic transmission with manual shift mode, this Suburban is readily usable, even by modern standards.
