Question: What year did GM make the first Suburban, and was it called a Suburban? Yesterday, 2 guys were admiring my '64 K-10 'Burb. 1 guy said that he did not know they made 'Burbs in 64. I said they were made in the 40s. 2nd. guy said, "Yeah. But they were called panel wagons." I didn't know, so I didn't argue with him. I saw a picture of a '35 in the Gallery, and it was called a Suburban Carryall. Were the first called Suburban Carryall, and if so, when did the name become just Suburban?
