1955 GMC Suburban — the Definition of ‘Living Large’ (Video)
Ghostbusters-Looking Suburban Is a Modern Marvel with a Vintage Soul
As you may be aware, SUVs and crossovers have taken over the streets. Parking lots are inundated with small, medium, and full-size utility vehicles, and sales statistics show no signs of slowing down.
That being said, there once was a time when grand vehicles weren’t for the masses but for those who truly needed them. These particular vehicles weren’t seen as mainstream or family-friendly, and they were much less “trendy.” They were built to be utilitarian and transport people or cargo.
That’s the case of this stunning 1955 GMC Suburban from the folks at Vanguard Motorsales. Adding to the cool factor is that it also looks a bit like a Ghostbusters-mobile!
Displayed in bright blue metallic, this Suburban Carryall was restored with no expense spared. It’s been fitted with modern components that will allow the lucky future owner to enjoy it without sacrificing reliability or comfort. Components like electronic fuel injection, a 4-speed automatic transmission, power steering, electric fans, and even a top-notch sound system bring this vintage ride up to modern times.
For some seasoned collectors, this Suburban may be “too modernized.” But for baby boomers that simply want to hit the open road, this is the real deal. Sure, the touch screen and modern gauges may be a bit overkill, but we do love the black steel wheels.
In the end, this 1955 GMC Suburban Carryall isn’t designed for all, but for a lucky few. If you ask us, the $79,900 price tag is definitely worth it.
