I'm very hopeful about the future of the institution," stated Williams, 70 Nova MARK OF EXCELLENCE Less filling This not-too-small car is big enough for you and your friends. And your luggage. Yet, this same not-too-large car is small enough for a budget. Even a frugal one. You have three standard engine choices. Four. Six. Or V8. Depends on how tnrifty you want to be. More filling Nova comes one of two ways: Coupe or Sedan. From there, your Chevrolet dealer can help you put together any kind of Nova you want. But plan on more friends. And fewer fuel stops. Putting you first, keeps us first. On The Move.
