Additionally, the original Chevy IIs could be purchased in four different body configurations: a four-door sedan, a two-door coupe, a station wagon, or a convertible. The base model of the vehicle came with a four-cylinder 153 cubic-inch engine, but buyers could upgrade the motor by replacing it with the optional six-cylinder 194-ci power plant. Ushering in the first generation of the automobile, production of the Chevy II/Nova began, and the first models rolled off the assembly line in 1962. Instead of the Corvair’s air-cooled rear-engine design, the Chevy II/Nova would have a front engine that was water-cooled, and it would be rear-wheel drive. Hoping to regain some of the market, GM designers delivered an idea for a more conventional compact automobile, which was named the Chevy II. However, what caused GM to return to their drawing board was that the Falcon was more popular than the innovative Corvair. All in 1960, Ford produced the Falcon, Mopar introduced the Valiant, and General Motors manufactured the Chevrolet Corvair. In the early 1960s, America’s compact-car market was booming. But before we explore this wonderful example, let’s look at the history of the Chevy II/ Nova. Only slightly modified, Overcast’s vehicle is a great example of what the car would have originally looked like on the outside. My personal reflections aside, Overcast’s 1967 Chevy/Nova SS is by leaps and bounds much better than the one in my past. Many of us have similar memories and seeing certain cars can kick those thoughts into overdrive. It activated my imagination and caused me to reflect on memories that I had from my childhood, riding in a Nova and hoping that we made it from one destination to another without running out of gas (the fuel gauge had long stopped working). Mike Overcast’s 1967 Chevrolet Nova SS did just that for me.
