Early SUV!
It’s a Woodie!
The local Ford dealer has their first new Flex on the lot. Low and boxy, a look we haven’t seen in a while. Maybe it should be called “Country Square”.

Chevy made the first suburban in 1933
Chevrolet offered a station wagon body, built on the 1/2 ton truck frame. This model was specifically built for National Guard units and Civilian Conservation Corps units. Much of the body was constructed from wood, and could seat up to eight occupants.
and the suburban wasn’t the first SUV
It’ll never catch on
