I thought you might like to see the ads concerning Bronco's and the competition.

I used to have one of those Blazers. Made the mistake of selling it for far too little.

That must be a drawing or a sketch........
Missing rear bumper and the driver's side fender looks weird where it meets grill and around wheel well

I don't think it's a drawing. You're probably too young to remember but way back in the olden days magazine ads were printed in black and white. Unless it was a real classy magazine like Motor Trend or Hustler.
I noticed the small front turn signals combined with the side marker lights. Side markers were '70 and newer and the small turn signals were '68 and older. Also it looks like the top is body colored on the sides and white on top.

You think maybe they took a stock photo of an earlier year and touched it up to show new marker locations? They add some color to the hardtop sides to further "update the look" and done.

It may have been an earlier year promo photo mule. Updated to keep up with major changes. They may have missed the turn signals or just thought the smaller ones photographed better.
