The 1973 Chevrolet S10 Blazer is a bit of a misnomer, as the S10 designation wouldn't be introduced until 1982. The vehicle you're referring to is actually a first-generation Chevrolet Blazer, a rugged and stylish SUV that helped define the burgeoning off-road vehicle market of the early 1970s. It was built on the same platform as the Chevrolet K5, a heavy-duty pickup truck, and shared its robust ladder frame construction. The Blazer offered a blend of car-like handling and off-road capability, thanks to its independent front suspension and optional four-wheel drive. This made it a popular choice for families seeking adventure and weekend warriors needing a versatile vehicle for work and play. The 1973 Blazer came standard with a powerful V8 engine and a three-speed automatic transmission. Options included a more potent V8, a four-speed manual transmission, and various trim levels that ranged from basic work trucks to luxurious models with leather upholstery and air conditioning. The Blazer's iconic design, with its square body and removable hardtop, captured the spirit of the era and remains sought after by enthusiasts today. It represented a shift in automotive design, offering a blend of functionality and style that would become a defining element of future generations of SUVs. While the 1973 Blazer wasn't the first SUV, it was one of the earliest to truly capture the public's imagination, paving the way for a booming segment of the automotive market.
