Another cool ebay find, I wish I could have posted a full size version, it shows the Feathers blazer along with several others I had not heard of along with a suburban 1776 version and several for the pickups. I wonder if any of these trucks have survived.

Sweet I love the feathers blazer. I just read an old article on them pretty cool. They were amazed with the automatic transmission mated with the 4X4.

I have a white suburban.I can put the 1776 decals on it.I have seen the feathers on a blazer at hershey.Never seen or heard of the 1776.

There is (was) a 71/72 Blazer here that had the "flag" theme on it. It was white with a black top. It now sits topless in an open concrete manure storage area on a farm now. I inquired, not for sale.

Anybody notice the 1776 was not available in NY or DC?

landon4421 · 07-15-2003, 10:57 AM

It looks like "Rippler" to me. Maybe it's a reference to "Ripple" wine.
