In 2019, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce gave the Chevy Suburban the Award of Excellence star — making it the first-ever vehicle to receive this coveted award. The Suburban has now brought this award to Arlington, Texas, celebrating the place where this movie star is assembled.
The Award of Excellence star is located between the football stadium and ballpark in Arlington’s Entertainment District. It is the first award of its kind to remain in Texas permanently and is now open to the public. Arlington Mayor Jeff Williams took part in the unveiling of the star’s location and also announced that June 21, the day of the unveiling, is officially “Suburban Day.”
The Suburban received the star after making an appearance in over 1,750 TV series and films. Its long career on the screen first began in 1952, and it has been in at least one TV show each year since 1956. The large SUV even landed roles in more than 30 award-nominated films.
Not only is it the longest working actor in Hollywood, but the Suburban is also the longest-running nameplate, having made its debut back in 1935. The Arlington Assembly Plan started producing the model in 1999, and the model has since been extremely popular in Texas, with almost 200,000 Suburban vehicles on Texas roads last year.
