VW bug is correct. It was built somewhere in the world from 1938 to 2003.

Suburban has been built since 1935. but it was 12 generations with different styling for each generation.

Bugs did have 3 different back window holes and two different windshield holes.

Now your splitting hairs. It depends on where in the world it was built. Europe and north America had changes that were not made in other countries until much later if at all. The original 1100 cc engines was still being made two years after they quit building Bugs in 2003.

On the Suburban there was a vendor built woody wagon sold through International dealers that was called a Suburban but I am not counting that one. There was another make that called their wagons Suburban.

Bonus question, when was the Suburban name trademarked?
