Hey Guys,
Check this out!
56 Chevy Suburban
The owner was informed that this is the only one in existence. It was originally one of only two concept cars
designed by the famous pioneering, industrial designer Harley Earl (GM automotive designer and VP @ GM.
he designed the Corvette among many other notable cars). The second, other Suburban was destroyed.
This remaining one was meticulously restored to it's original condition. There is no customizing, no grafting
of parts from other cars...this is the way Earl designed it! The dash got some upgrades in instrumentation
and steering wheel, but the dash is basically the way it was made in 1956. The combination of the step-side
quarter panels and the Nomad tailgate is stunning. The color combination is wonderful. The current owner
was a long time executive at GM and after years of wheeling and dealing, finally got the car....along with
original plans, drawings, sketches and notes from Harley Earl. Talk about a treasure and a historic find....
Wow! I thought I would share this with you. Awesome!
