1956 GMC Suburban Town & Country Pickup

1956 GMC Suburban Town & Country Pickup at the Chicago Auto Show

Introduced in 1955, the Suburban Town & Country was GMC’s version of Chevrolet’s Cameo pickup. Like the Cameo, the Suburban Town & Country featured a more luxurious interior and fiberglass rear fender covers to create the first smooth-side box. This 1956 model, one of only about 200 built that year, is powered by an optional 155-horsepower 317-cubic-inch Pontiac V8 engine with a 2-barrel carburetor and a 7.4 to 1 compression ratio. Other options include a Hydramatic automatic transmission, two-tone cab, large rear window, tinted glass and whitewall tires. It was displayed at the 2001 Chicago Auto Show by the Volo Auto Museum.
