Chevy II/Nova is a compact automobile manufactured by the Chevrolet division
of General Motors, produced in five generations for the 1962 through 1979, and
1985 through 1988 model years. Quite honestly, the
Chevrolet Nova did as much for Chevrolet as any compact car has ever done for
its' maker.
The Chevy II was
one of the fastest new-car development programs in GM history - just 18 months
after the designers got the green light, the first production Chevy II rolled
off the Willow Run, Michigan, assembly line in August 1961, in time for its
September 29 introduction. This was due to one simple fact- the Falcon was
dominating the Corvair in sales. Unlike the Corvair, the 1962 Chevy II was
deliberately never intended to be revolutionary in concept or execution; its
mission was to give Chevy buyers a simple, back-to-the-basics compact car. When
he announced the Chevy II to the press, Chevrolet General Manager Ed Cole described
the car as offering "maximum functionalism with thrift."
Chevrolet
designer Clare MacKichan recalled about creating the Chevy II: "There was
no time for experimentation or doodling around with new ideas from either the
engineers or from us in design; And it had to be a basic-type car. We worked
night and day on that car, and it didn't take very long to run it through our
shop because we had a deadline."
Ultimately the
Nova badge would replace Chevy II - but that wouldn't happen until 1969.
The Nova Super
Sport was transformed from a trim option to a performance package for 1968. It
was one of the smallest muscle cars ever fielded by Detroit. Novas sported the
SS badge until 1972.
The third
generation models, beginning in 1968, were fully redesigned with an extensive
restyle on a longer 111-inch wheelbase that gave the Chevy compact a chassis
that was just one inch shorter than that of the midsize Chevelle coupe. And
here is where the story of the true popularity of the Nova began.
Very early on,
gear heads, car guys, and drag racers alike realized the third generation Nova
was the perfect performance car. The extended wheel base, light weight, low
cost, and the ability to create an extremely favorable power to weight ratio
placed the Nova high on the demand list. Soon, modified Novas were appearing
all over the streets and drag strips across the country.
To this day, the
Novas are a major player in the street and strip scene.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
