The 1967 to 1972 3 Door Suburban

Did you know that between 1967 and 1972 Chevy Suburbans only had 3 side doors?  That’s right, folks. It had one door on the driver side and two on the passenger side. Cool, right? Sadly, General Motors ended the 3 door Suburban when it decided that an even number of doors was in fact more popular and added the 4th door in 1973 with the new body style.  

I personally feel like the three door ‘Burban is the mullet haircut of the automotive world (business in the front, party in the back). Let’s face it: it’s 20 feet of sports car down the left side, yet a family friendly sedan on the right. It’s the best of both worlds. Am I right, or am I right?
