If you like malaise era cars, then you should be watching “the Americans” on FX. It takes place during the early 80's and is loaded with this type of iron. How can there be so many 1981 Chrysler New Yorkers in great shape? Fun thing to do is notice how many cars show up in different places. Last episode I watched,…

Based on this video, it’s shocking they ever survived.

Funny, when I put Blazer in the search they both come up. I would think a little more differentiation would be good.  Besides the S10 is the pickup as well.  And, I hope you’re not defending GM :-)
