It has been in at least one TV series every year since 1956 and at least one movie every year since 1960. “There’s really nothing else like the Chevrolet Suburban in this business, for two reasons,” said Dennis McCarthy, Hollywood picture car coordinator. “First…

That’s not only because it’s capable of going from 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds when equipped with the Z51 Performance Package, but also because a mid-engine Vette has been highly anticipated for decades.
