Seventies Suburban Holly Green and Shamrock Green

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

Has anyone seen or owned a seventies Suburban that was two tone green?

In 1979 the greens were called Holly Green and Shamrock Green.

I think the ultimate tow vehicle would be a green, green 1979 Suburban with a green interior on a modern chassis.

I would like to see if my favourite colour combo on a seventies square body translates and works on a Suburban…… or too much of a good thing?

A local guy has a '77 half ton Suburban in those colors. It is factory 454 truck and is in really nice original condition. Originally it had woodgrain in the middle but it was removed many years ago and painted the different shade of green in the middle. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of it.

Is that suburban still around? I remember seeing it a lot 25+ years ago.
I always loved that color combination.

Yes, Jonas owns it now. I sent him a text to see if he has any pics on his phone he could send me but he doesn't. He said its in a small garage for the winter and hard to get decent pics of it right now.

Thanks!! I knew somebody would know of one!!!

This is not a rush item, when he gets it out in spring would be A-OK with me.

I have seen several that color combo over the years with green interior. Have not seen one in a very long time.

Did the colour combo work, or too much of a good thing?

My uncle had a GMC High Sierra 4x4 that year in those colors. It all works for me, and I'm not really a "green" guy. The cast of the colors is just right, being different but not too in your face bright. I'd love to have a squarebody in that color combo.

Agree 100%

I think I like the darker green as the inset on the side, the other way it doesn’t work as well IMHO.

I like it better that the usual brown/tan combo.
