1990 Chevrolet Suburban. 
A decade of change and, ultimately, prosperity opened in 1990, but it didn't get off to a strong start. The United States was mired in a recession and Generation X, the post-Boomer demographic entering the workforce, found little opportunity upon graduation. It was a year that saw the collapse of the Soviet Union and Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, which sparked the first Gulf War.  After weathering the tumultuous Seventies and go-go Eighties, the Chevrolet Suburban entered the Nineties on the leading edge of the SUV phenomenon that would soon change the definition of the family car in America. Although a new Suburban was on the drawing boards (based on the redesigned Chevy C/K trucks that were introduced in 1988), it was based on long, 129.5-inch wheelbase platform that launched in 1973. It was a generation that brought fundamental changes to the Suburban, as a greater emphasis on comfort and more car-like driving characteristics in the half-ton models attracted more than just utility crews. More and more people were making the Suburban their personal vehicle, which could tow a horse trailer or camper on the weekends. The gentrification of the Suburban grew in 1987 with the introduction of electronically controlled fuel injection and a fuel-saving four-speed overdrive automatic transmission. Anti-lock brakes were offered in 1988. By 1990, the base inline-6 engine that had been a staple of the Suburban lineup was long gone. A 5.7-liter small-block V-8 was standard and the 7.4L big-block was available for those who needed the ultimate in towing capability. Like the Suburban, the small-block and big-block engines had long histories of service: The small-block debuted in 1955 and the big-block in 1965. The Chevrolet Suburban celebrated its 55th anniversary in 1990 – the same year "The Simpsons" debuted.
