Cape Town - Mention the word Suburban and it instinctively conjures up Hollywood-esque scenes of a tight convoy of black trucks, crawling with dark-suited CIA special agents with even darker sunglasses, speeding along a desert highway in some god-forsaken third-world country…
It is quite apt too, because seven decades ago the Chevy Suburban started life as a model specifically built for the military National Guard units and semi-military Civilian Conservation Corps units in the US.
At the time much of its body was still constructed from wood, and it could seat up to eight - three occupants in the front row, two in the middle row, and three at the rear - while either the side-hinged rear panel doors or a rear tailgate/lift window could be selected to give access to the cargo area.
