advertisement The advertising copywriters went on: Did you ever
notice that the toughest places to get to usually turn out to be
the nicest places to stay? Too bad you couldn't have a neat little
cabin right in the middle of it all. With a new Chevy Blazer
Chalet, you've got it. Blazer Chalet also takes care of staying
there (in those nicest places). You take your cabin right with you.
Chalet has a permanently mounted fiberglass-reinforced plastic
camper body over a rigid steel frame. Convertible seats/bunks
provide seating for four or sleeping for two. Among Chalet's many
features are a dinette table, stainless steel galley, LPG stove,
and available heater. And a pop-up camper top allows for over six
feet of head room. Offered here is a rare opportunity to acquire an
original 1976 Blazer Chalet has been properly cared for over 45
years by the same owner family, and recently refreshed. This
special-purpose vehicle was built at the Flint, Michigan Chevrolet
assembly plant. The Blazer Chalet's odometer shows just 88,422
miles, fewer than 2,000 miles per-year on average since new. Its
outstanding overall condition is a testament to commendable owner
pride and care through the years. The Blazer Chalet's exterior
two-tone paint colors-burnt-orange-and cream, with striping-were
special and unique to this model. All the paintwork is as close to
showroom-new in appearance as a 45-year-old vehicle could possibly
be: smooth, evenly glossy, unmarred in any way. (To best assess the
quality of the paint and trim finishes, be sure to view the
close-up photographs of the car in the accompanying gallery.) These
special Blazers may well have benefitted from added scrutiny during
assembly; body-panel fit is excellent. Chrome bumpers, mirrors, and
wheel-well trim-all part of the Cheyenne package-are all in
like-new condition. All factory badging-including the front-fender
K5 Blazer emblems-is in place. Cabin glass on both the SUV and the
camper is clear and free of cracks; all lighting lenses are
similarly pristine (notice how the camper's separate taillights are
identical to the Blazer's as the camper was removable). The
camper's pop-up roof works as intended. The normally
cargo-area-mounted spare tire (a thin-whitewall tire here) is
mounted on a special front-bumper carrier. White-painted, 8-spoke
wheels (with front locking hubs) are mounted with Wildcat® Radial
LT outline-white-letter tires. Inside, the properly kept condition
of all surfaces is exemplary: perfectly clean and unmarred. In the
Blazer cabin, that includes brown vinyl seat upholstery,
burnt-orange carpeting, tan dash with woodgrain trim, the same trim
on the doors with storage pockets added, even the finish on the
Cheyenne dashboard badge facing the front passenger. The
bowtie-branded stock steering wheel frames the woodgrain-trimmed
instrument cluster (with instrument lenses and graphic markings,
including the fluorescent indicator needles, in excellent
condition); the shift lever for the automatic transmission is
mounted on the steering column. To the right, slide-level HVAC
controls are just above the factory AM-FM push-button radio. The
four-wheel-drive transfer-case selector is mounted on the floor.
The camper's interior is similarly free of obvious wear, much less
any sign of damage or inconsiderate use. Everything from the
floors, to the brown-vinyl upholstered seating, to the f
