The Original Chevy Suburban Cost $675, Here's What It's Worth Today - Jalopnik

Chevrolet’s original Suburban dates back to late 1935 and became the brand’s longest-running nameplate, with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and recognition as an early all-steel truck-based wagon. When new, Chevy pitched the 1935 Suburban at $675 to $685, compared with a $670 starting price for the wood-bodied Ford 48 station wagon; adjusted, that’s roughly $16,450 to $16,700 in 2026 dollars. Today’s redesigned Suburban—updated in 2025 alongside the Tahoe—starts at $63,700 plus $2,795 destination charges. High Country variants can exceed $105,000, and even a 1936 “refurbished” example reached $102,500 in 2021 at Bring a Trailer, versus $51,700 for another early one at Mecum in 2024.
