$34,900 Automotive History: The Chevrolet Chevy II/Nova was a small
automobile manufactured by Chevrolet, and produced in five
generations for the 1962 through 1979, and 1985 through 1988 model
years. Nova was the top model in the Chevy II lineup through 1968.
The Chevy II nameplate was dropped, Nova becoming the nameplate for
the 1969 through 1979 models. Built on the X-body platform, the
Nova was replaced by the 1980 Chevrolet Citation introduced in the
spring of 1979. The Nova nameplate returned in 1985, produced
through 1988 as a NUMMI manufactured, subcompact based on the front
wheel drive, Japan home-based Toyota Sprinter. 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." The 1962 Chevy II rode a 110-inch wheelbase,
compared to 109.5 for the Ford Falcon, at which Chevy's new compact
was aimed. "I think that was the quickest program we ever did at
any time," he continued. "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." And that's what made the Chevy II 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. Unlike the Corvair, the
1962 Chevy II was deliberately never intended to be revolutionary
in concept or execution; its mission was to give Chevrolet 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."
