I was looking at the 67 Convertible listed in this auction, but my question is about the 1966 Chevrolet Panel Truck that is also listed. Question is, is this called a Suburban, or is it just called a Panel Truck? … Thanks Glenn

I would say Suburban if there are 2 doors on the passenger side. To me the panel trucks were 2 door and no glass on the sides.

The Suburban Carryall did not have 2 passenger doors on the RHS until the 1967 models.
The model # should tell which it is (although it doesn't sound like it was written down correctly; probably C1406....).
Model C1405 = Panel Model C1406 = Suburban Carryall with Panel rear doors Model C1416 = Suburban Carryall with a drop-down tailgate & swing up rear window.
Panel trucks came standard only with a driver's seat, while Suburbans came standard with seating for six passengers (the rear seat can always be removed).
It looks like that '67 Impala SS convertible was Nantucket Blue with a matching blue convertible top originally ("4" for the top code)
