1976 Chevrolet K5 Blazer | Lichfield, Staffordshire

The Chevrolet K5 Blazer is the shortened, four-wheel-drive SUV that GM built on its full-size pickup underpinnings. It is known for a tall, boxy stance and truck toughness. In square-body form it also has a removable rear top that turns it into an open-air wagon. This 1976 car is Orange with a brown interior, a warm 1970s pairing that suits the period shape. It has a 5.7-litre engine and seats four. It is left-hand drive: the driver sits on the kerb side, which gives the car an American look, and the front passenger steps out on the road side. Its upright, boxy body and orange paint stand out clearly against most locations, which helps advertising, photography and music video work. The 1970s American look suits period film and TV scenes, and the brown interior gives fashion and editorial shoots a warm backdrop. A wedding or personal hire brings the same character to the day. The car is based in Lichfield, Staffordshire.
