Re: Stretched 1961 Suburban?
Not that particular one, but there are many like it. I think Stageway Coach (?) did those conversions back in the day for schools and park tour buses and whatnot.

Re: Stretched 1961 Suburban?

Re: Stretched 1961 Suburban?
There used to be two of them for sale in Boise. I stopped and looked at them. The metal and body work really adds up on those things!

Re: Stretched 1961 Suburban?
Yeah and doing 5 or six sets of bench seats, 4 sets of doors. Still think itd be cooler than an 18 passenger van. Any idea on what kind of drivetrain it had?

Re: Stretched 1961 Suburban
As for drivetrains... the GMC V6 was in some of those vehicles.
1 for sale in SC a couple years back had the 305 V6 in it. Nice torque, poor mileage. I love 'em.

Re: Stretched 1961 Suburban?
Losthope posted a picture of the two that were in Boise. The one that says Merritt with the "Scones" Idaho plate and the other one in the back ground. I haven't seen them around for a couple of years.

Re: Stretched 1961 Suburban?
This one has been on CL for a few years now in Nor-Cal. It's a tour bus from Yosemite. I'd love to see it restored and put back into use.
