Nothing New
I was just reading a July 1949 issue of Popular Mechanics - which is fascinating reading (really) by the way - and found an article about a new vehicle. It was a "Plymouth Combination Station Wagon and Utility Vehicle" or otherwise described as "sporty looking utility vehicle." It was called the Suburban - gee, wonder where Chevy came up with the name?
The "slick five-passenger family car" came with "all metal construction", "18-inch wheels (optional) for greater clearance in backwoods driving" and "the same 97-horsepower engine featured in the deluxe line"
