Chevy Suburban Diamond Edition Preps for Launch

One of the iconic models of American manufacturer Chevrolet (the icon for the family guy, that is), the Chevrolet Suburban, is celebrating it's 75th year of existence in the service of the average 3.14 members American family.

To properly mark the anniversary of the model, Chevrolet will be releasing the 75th Anniversary Diamond Edition Suburban. Announced since February, the model launches this summer with unique features, even if we're still missing a price tag to associate with the edition.

The anniversary model will feature a White Diamond Tricoat exterior color and Cashmere interior, along with unique 20-inch chrome-clad wheels and new roof rack rails. It is built on the LTZ trim and comes equipped with integrated navigation radio, Bluetooth phone connectivity, rearview camera system, rear parking assist, remote starting and adjustable pedals.

The Suburban was introduced by Chevrolet in 1935 as an eight seater which sold for about about $675. It was an all-steel wagon body mounted on a commercial chassis named Carryall. The Suburban remains GM's longest running nameplate, having been in production for 75 years with no breaks. It was only in the 1990s that the model began enjoying some real success.

“Times have changed, but the Suburban remains a fixture in the industry for private and professional customers who need truck-like towing capability with maximum passenger and cargo space,” said Jim Campbell, Chevrolet general manager.

“The Suburban’s core capabilities and dependability have remained constant for more than seven decades and generations of people know that a Suburban will haul people and their gear.”
