Re: Automobile Magazine Blazer Article

Jeeez... I think my feelings are hurt. "SOAP BAR SILHOUETTE". "WET NOODLE CHASSIS"

Somehow that's not the feeling I have driving my Blazer or see it parked someplace.

Re: Automobile Magazine Blazer Article

Let’s see.....it’s a soap bar, but he says that the 73 was more rounded than the square styling of the previous generation. I thought that they call the 73’s “square body “? The reason they got rid of the full removable top wasn’t for safety, it was for body strength! Fun article though.
