Blazer article

http://www.classicshoptalk.com/conte...evrolet-Blazer

Interesting link from CPP, reads like a GM promotional Ad.

Re: Blazer article

I love how the article describes the top as weathertight and easily removed.

Obviously written by someone who admires the Blazer but doesn't own one.

What do you mean, they almost never leak! As long as the sun is shining that is.

Re: Blazer article

I reread that a couple times, my take is that he says the fiberglass top doesnt leak, which it doesnt unless cracked. He makes no mention of the seals or door openings. Of course, I do agree, mine seldomly leaks when its sunny out.

Re: Blazer article

Can't say I agree about the water-proof top, but the blazer will definitely get past anything you throw at it...anything but a gas station, that is

Re: Blazer article

I'm looking at the the bottom Blazer (Green one ) Now correct me if I'm wrong but does that truck look lifted and that photo does look like a period correct photo.
