1963 Chevrolet Nova SS

The Nova was Chevy's compact, and arrived in 1962. The car shown here is a first generation model, but the Nova would have 4 generations until 1979, and then the name was revived in the eighties for a rebadged Toyota. Available as a top level performance option was the SS package, introduced in 1963. However, unlike later SS badged cars, this one was simply an appearance package and had no additional performance gains. Despite that, these SS's are still very collectible, making this patina'd coupe an interesting and cool sight.

1964 Chevrolet Nova

The Nova was Chevy's compact, and arrived in 1962. The car shown here is a first generation model, but the Nova would have 4 generations until 1979, and then the name was revived in the eighties for a rebadged Toyota. It was usually a strong seller, partly due to the fact that you could get one as a slow sedan all the way up to a full muscle car SS. This one's patina and front end damage give it a well-used, daily driver character, but the gold paint still shines.
