==== Design ====

The Blade combines elements of the 1965 and 1968 [[wp:Chevrolet Impala#1965-1970|Chevrolet ~~Impala~~]]s. The rear of the car resembles that of the 1963 [[wp:Chevrolet Impala#1961-1964|Impala]], with convex areas around the taillights rather than concave. Its headlight design is similar to a 1967 [[wp:Oldsmobile Cutlass#Second-Generation Intermediate - 1964-1967|Oldsmobile Cutlass]] (which may be the origin of the Blade's name along with the [[Sabre]]). The Blade has no side rear-view mirrors.

While normally appearing with only an open top, the car can be modified at Loco Low Co. to feature a hard top. A convertible top option is also available but the roof is constantly depicted retracted.

=== The Ballad of Gay Tony (as a boat) ===

[[File:Blade-TBOGT-front.png|thumb|300px|A Blade in The Ballad of Gay Tony.]]

The Blade is similar in style to [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'s rendition of the [[Tropic]], but features a rear spoiler that sweeps back instead of forward, much like the [[Squalo]]. It is the fastest of the three speedboats introduced in the episode.
