<VV> Chevy Nova = <N>ova <O>mega <V>entura <A>pollo - No Corvair

[Doug Mackintosh]

I beg to differ, Tony!  
   
  My dad bought a new 1962 Chevy II Nova 2-dr hardtop when they first came out. They were also available in convertible form (there is one pictured in my November 1961 Motor Trend) from the get-go. The car was a Chevy II. The Nova was the tarted-up version (the Chevy II equivalent of a Corvair "Monza"). As I recall the Chevy II series designations in 1962 were "100", "300" and "Nova 400". The SS didn't show up till 1963.

  <<The Chevy-II started in 
late '61, titled as a '62 of course but I'm pretty sure it was NOT 
badged as a Nova.   That came in '63 with an options package I think, 
as did the SS package.   By the way, 1963 was the only year you could 
get a ragtop Nova, thus those '63 Nova ragtops are worth a buck or 
two, especially if in SS clothes.>>
