Check out this 54 Suburban

Pretty cool truck for sale close to me. Something you don't see everyday.
Not posted as a truck find for sale but instead as a "how cool is this".

Re: Check out this 54 Suburban

Just right for the guy with a big family or lots of friends. A guy would have to look it over pretty close to see if it was worth the asked price.

$16000 Canadian is roughly $12,700 US.
I would not pay that much for it as I don't need an 11 passenger vehicle right now. But 16K is cheap compared to what a suburban costs now.

Re: Check out this 54 Suburban

Very unusual, I didn't know they made long wheelbase suburbans. I own a 1/2 ton 54 suburban that I got for $400; of course it is no where near as clean as that one.

Re: Check out this 54 Suburban

I'd guess it was probably used as some kind of transportation bus similar to how Connecticut Limousine used to have stretch Suburbans in the 80's. Maybe a hotel-airport shuttle type deal.
