I know the Chevy Suburban counts as well but that only has two doors despite having more than enough room for a pair of rear doors.

Cantrell & Co. of Huntington Station, New York, used to call them "Suburban" and Studebaker also advertised earlier models as "Suburban Car". But still, that name can't be found on the 11/1952 brochure for "the new all purpose Cantrell station wagon bodies". I'm not sure if they were generally advertised as "new" or if that means they were just new for the 1953 model year. On that note: Isn't it a shame that nobody ever built a used car?? 1953 Studebaker Station Wagon by Cantrell by Alden Jewell, on Flickr
