We’ve written about Chevy Suburbans before, but never a 5th generation Suburban, and it’s about time. This of course is the 5th of 12 total Suburban generations so far, as it continues its run as the longest continuously used nameplate in history. It’s an icon, and for good reason. 

The 5th generation got its start with the 1960 model year, which took its styling cues from a lot of the late 50s Chevy lineup, especially with its large ovular ports above the grille at the end of the hood. Its cab had a wrap-around windshield, and it came with options for tailgate and panel door rear openings, this one coming with rear panel doors, which open to a rear cargo area capable of carrying 1,150 pounds of cargo. By 1965 when this Suburban was produced, Chevy had ditched the characteristic ports and the wrap-around windshield for a more streamlined looking front-end and flattened front glass. 

It’s really hard to find a 55+ year old Suburban that’s in decent shape, and finding one with this low mileage in this good condition is nearly impossible. Add that this Suburban was 4wd and one of only 433 ever built in this configuration and you’ve got yourself a damn unicorn fourbie.
