Pretty cool Suburban, isn’t it?

Yup. For GMs I would take a well outfitted '65 Pontiac GTO or maybe an Olds 98 or Buick Electra for my daily driver, but the Suburban with a four barrel and a 350 will be fine for family trips and hauling people and things.

Here’s a fully restored one ... too spendy, for me :-)

“”Suburban with a four barrel””

The above phrase reminds me of the insanity of Kalifornia Air Resources Board (CARB) and their insane regulations. For the smog check when you register your car, they not only test what exits the tail pipe, they look under the hood also. If you have altered the original equipment, you do not ‘pass’ the smog test, and cannot register the vehicle. An acquaintance replaced the original 2 barrel carburetor with a 4 barrel carburetor. The tailpipe exhaust test was very, very clean, but no smog certification. The owner had to put the original 2 barrel carburetor back. Once they finally provided the smog certificate and registration, he put the 4 barrel back on the truck.
