Imagine if you had a sweet tooth and became a new employee at a gourmet bakery that served delicious treats like nothing you’ve ever tasted. As soon as you walked through the front door, you began sliding down a slippery slope. Before I started working for Collector Car Network, I had certain tastes in cars and a list of dream cars. Soon after I signed on, those tastes changed and the list expanded. That’s why you’re looking at this 1991 Chevrolet R1500 Suburban right now.

The Suburban is the longest-running model in automotive history, having been introduced in 1935. For nearly 20 years (1973-1991), its appearance remained essentially the same as the seventh generation: a two-box design with a squared-off chin, strong but simple lines, and enough interior space for three rows of passengers or more plus plenty of luggage and gear.

Clearly, this car is different from others of its ilk in some ways. Time has undoubtedly given the Smoky Blue Metallic and Summit White body a unique, rugged sheen, with the body being clear-coated so all the visual history is preserved.

At some point, the family car’s lower body was remodeled with new wheels and suspension. The body was lowered 5 inches, C-shaped grooves were adopted, and a 2.5-inch lowering axle and 2-inch front lower springs were installed. Under the wheel wells, a set of white 20-inch Detroit steel wheels were installed, with low-profile 245/45 front tires and 275/45 rear tires.

Aside from these changes, which give this Suburban a sleek custom look, the people mover appears to be largely unchanged. There are a few updates here and there, like new headlights and shocks and a new headliner, but there’s no mention of any major changes to the 350ci V8 or the four-speed automatic transmission.

The same can be said for the blue cloth interior, which offers power windows, a tilt steering column, cruise control, power steering, air conditioning, and first-row captain’s chairs.

You rarely see a Suburban from this era on the road these days. You’re even less likely to see one as cool as this one, which looks like a party bus, perfect for a fun weekend with friends and family, or as a promotional vehicle for a speed shop. If you want to see one in your driveway, you’ll need to spend $20,995 to get it there.
