1952 Chevrolet Suburban Recent Body-Off Restoration! The 1st SUV!
Shift Bespoke Automotive is proud to offer this Recent Body-Off Restoration! Merlot Red over Red and tan interior. The popularity of today’s sports-utility vehicles has its distant roots in 1935 when Chevrolet and GMC created the category with the Suburban, now the longest-running model in the automotive industry. The postwar redesign of GM’s trucks included the Suburban, resulting in handsome utility vehicles like this 1952 2-door wagon, whose body-off restoration was completed in 2012. Advertised by GM as an ideal unit for transporting people and commodities, this Suburban Carryall came equipped with an end-gate (clamshell) that could be lowered to carry luggage, tools or supplies or the two rear seats could be removed to haul large loads. For your convenience we took over a 150 photos in natural sunlight! Our camera lense has a small smudge inside the camera that needs to be cleaned, it shows a small cloudy blemish on every image. It IS NOT a flaw on the car. Please feel free to contact us at 949-891-Cars (2277) FOR QUESTIONS, SCHEDULE TEST DRIVES OR INSPECTIONS. Inspections are welcome and encouraged if you have any reservations. Keep in mind we ship cars worldwide - sight unseen!
