Accept the fact that all the manufacturers made nice cars at some point. Brand loyalty is silly.

and....



Of course that would depend on the specific Nova, and the specific Mustang.....

that said, I think that most 70s Novas look like family cars,,,, but the 60s Chevy IIs and Novas do look bad... (as in good bad).. IMO Novas and Mustangs are two entirely different cars though.

Trivia about the Nova, GM tried to sell the Nova in Mexico, after a while they were disappointed with it's south of the border sales. In examination of the situation, it was discovered that Nova, or No Va, (NoVa), means "No Go" in Spanish,,, the car was marketed under a different name the following year...

you know I would own an early 70s Nova, but for one reason or another the rear quarter windows just don't look "right" to me.... It is all about personal prefference,,, I will agree that 72 & 73 Novas can look bad *** if done right though.... Not a car I would want to drop,, they need to ride right to look good.

I really do dig the 60s Novas and the 70s Chevelles (Malibu & Laguna's included,, Laguna's are the sh*t IMO)... In any case, I think the next car I do will probably be a mid sixties Falcon,,, if not another 60s Mustang... I think I am on a Ford kick right now...

You should feel terrible, leave now.Yeah, the Novas, do look pretty cool, but the Mustang will always remain #1 with me.
