1947 DeSoto 9-Passenger Suburban
Due to the outbreak of World War II, all US automobile production stopped in February of 1942 and car manufacturers shifted to building items for the war effort. Domestic car production didn't resume until March of 1946 with cars that appeared little changed from the 1941-1942 models. A surprise newcomer to the field was the nine-passenger DeSoto Suburban which debuted in November, 1946 and was produced unchanged through mid-1949.
The Suburban was designed as the ultimate in stylish transportation for hotels, airports and large families. Its unique folding seats allowed for several combintions of passengers and cargo, much like present-day minivans. A DeSoto Suburban, like the one here, was featured on the 1970s sitcom "Happy Days" as the Cunningham family car.
