Plymouth Suburban

The Plymouth Suburban was a station wagon that Plymouth produced from 1949 until 1978. Before 1949 Plymouth had offered only a four-door woodie wagon, expensive to build and to buy. In 1949 it introduced the industry's second all-steel station wagon, following the Willys-Overland Jeep Station Wagon, which was its direct competition. The back row of seating folded flat to give 42 inches of flat floor, and the wagon became popular as a commercial vehicle. For 1950 the Suburban was joined by a four-door Special Deluxe wagon, the last of the woodies, for buyers who wanted something more traditional.
