Can anyone tell me or direct me to where I can find the overall length for a 51 Suburban. I'm considering buying one and want to know if there will be any room in my garage after I put it in there.......

Just add on to the garage. You will not be sorry. You don't need much extra room anyway you can fix most every thing on these critters with just a hand full of tools...You'll love it

The Prius would get parked outside............actually the other option is a 60 Bel Air. Which after some checking is pretty much the same length. I guess now it comes down to how big a project I want to try and tackle.

Get the suburban. You can haul way more in it, and it has higher ground clearance, all the better to run over bodies after the zombie apocalypse. A 60 Bel air is okay if you like new cars...

Just think, you and seven of your closest friends can all ride to dairy queen to get ice cream at once.
