1983 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer Promo
When the Chevrolet S-10 Blazer compact SUV arrived in 1983, it pioneered a market segment that experienced explosive growth during the following decade. Based on the S-10 compact pickup and featuring squared-off, rugged good looks, the S-10 Blazer was initially available only in a two-door body style; it was later joined by a four-door model.
The 1983 S-10 Blazer shared most of its components and some sheetmetal with that small pickup that debuted a yearl earlier. Built on a short, 100.5-inch wheelbase and available only in a two-door body style, the S-10 Blazer seated four and weighed about 3,200 pounds. From the doors forward, the body was identical to the S-10 pickup, and aft of that was the wagon-style back of a utility vehicle. The rear end featured a drop-down tailgate and lift-up glass window.

As for the S10 models, I liked the gauge panel in its first years of production. The one that came out in later years was so disorganized.
