As a member you'll be able ot advertise in their monthly magazine. Also their membership roster lists all members vehicles. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 62 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 62 | Thanks, but I will not deal with VCCA. I was a member years ago and when I complained that my issues were arriving about one month later than the issues in the US, I was told quote "tough, that's the way it is" unquote.
A part that I was interested in was sold one month before I receive my issue to another member that saw it in VCCA mag. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | Welcome to the Stovebolt Stan!
You might want to post your question in the panels and burbs area. Someone there may know.
I saw a '41 at a car show a couple years ago, but I don't remember seeing any earlier.
I know a guy with a '39 GMC panel and another guy that has an early Suburban, I think its a '37, but don't recall exactly. Both of them hang out on the oldgmctrucks forum.
1955 1st GMC Suburban | 1954 GMC 250 trailer puller project | 1954 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic | 1954 Chevy 3100 . 1947 Chevy COE | and more...
It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 62 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 62 | Thanks for the reply,Steve. At one time a gentleman in the North West area of Detroit was restoring a '39 Sub, but I lost touch with him and later was told by someone that he died. I know General Motors own a 1946 Suburban, red with black fenders. Also, I had been in touch with a person in California the had both a '38 and a '39 but decided the '38 was in better shape for restoration.

I have not seen any pics yet but one is still out there in Idaho!! I'm trying to "justify" it with the wifey....I need one more toy!!! | | | | | Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 62 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 62 | Achipmonk; Sounds good to me, there are so few out there. As I understand it, there were only about 1600 suburbans made in 1939, at least in Tarrytown, some of which had barn doors and fewer still that had clam shell gates. This figure may be in doubt so don't quote me.
Please let me know if (and when) you see this one.i have lots of parts info on prewar subs.

I am thinking about buying it sight unseen as my friend is a pretty good gearhead himself and someone I can trust. I figure if its to much for me at least I will have preserved it for Someone!! And thanks for the parts info..... speaking or prewar, do you have many parts for a 52 panel?? I have one of those I have been trying to get started on for a couple months. Maybe soon. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 62 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 62 | Achipmonk; Sorry,I don't know of anyone in this part of the country that has parts for a '50's panel. This would be a rare animal indeed. Good Luck,
