Chevy Suburban now First Vehicle to Claim Star on Iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame

The world-famous Hollywood Walk of Fame is where tourists have been flocking for decades to catch a glimpse of their very own favorite star underfoot, as there are thousands of five-pointed stars etched into the sidewalk. It is just as much a necessary staple of the area such as the Santa Cruz boardwalk and Disneyland, it has become a rite of passage for nearly everyone who makes a touristy visit to the LA metro area. All of us here at Chuck Hutton Chevy of Memphis were proud to receive the announcement that our very own Chevy Suburban SUV will have its spot embedded in the sidewalk as well.

 The Suburban is the first vehicle to snag an award of excellence in film and television, presented this past week by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and unveiled at a special ceremony right on Hollywood Boulevard. The new star is situated on Hollywood Boulevard and Highland under the Dolby Arches, adjacent to the Walk of Fame. Hollywood picture car coordinator Dennis McCarthy stated that “It is one of the most versatile vehicles in the business, and able to fit in with any type of character”. He also states placidly that any scene on film benefits from a sense of added importance with the Suburban's presence.

The Suburban began its successful relationship with Hollywood in 1952 and has since then appeared in more than 1,750 films and TV series numbers. Since 1956, it has made its appearance in at least more than one series a year, and at least one on the big screen every year since 1960. Its running mate is by all means identified as the Chevy Tahoe, as the combo has appeared collectively  in 2,500 films  and television shows. Rana Ghadban, CEO of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, stated last week that “For six decades the Chevrolet Suburban has been Hollywood's longest-working actor”,  and billed it as an industry mainstay.

The 2020 Suburban is one of the largest full-size SUVs money can buy and boasts more vital interior room than its fierce competitors Nissan Armada and the Toyota Sequoia, as well as better features in the tech category. When equipped with the available front bench, the Suburban can hold up to nine passengers, with plenty of space left behind its third-row seat for the other goods that need to meet up at destination B. Make sure you inquire about the Premier level trim: just some of the additions are magnetic ride control, keyless entry, front and rear park assist, power-folding outside mirrors with memory function, 20-inch polished aluminum wheels, fog lights, Bose Centerpoint Surround Sound 10-speaker audio, navigation, and power-release second-row seats!
