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.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]
Thu, 07 Feb 2013For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.
