CHEVROLET LUCCHESE SUBURBAN EMBODIES SOUTHWEST LIFESTYLE Texas is famous for horses, cowboys and sales of Chevy Suburban models - ideal transportation for trailering horses, livestock and for comfortably traversing large stretches of land. Debuting at the 2002 Special Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, the Lucchese Suburban show vehicle explores the limits of bringing an upscale touch to this lifestyle.

There are various other exterior styling cues to distinguish this from production Suburban models, including updated front fascia with integral fog lamps, integral wheel flares and bodyside molding, Euro-style headlamps and taillamps and 20 x 9.5-inch Enkei Phatt wheels with 275/60 Goodyear Wrangler HP tiresInside, Lucchese Suburban creates a sumptuous environment.
