Chevrolet Nova SS
Also at the Summit car show was this 1972 Chevrolet Nova SS, with a 350 V-8 that delivers up to 190 horses.
While not as powerful as previous Nova SS models, it was still potent. The Nova, like the Chevelle SS before it and like the Cavalier Z-24 after it, was true to that time-honored concept Volkswagen's GTI now continues - put a high-performance engine in a common family car and you get the best of both worlds - practicality and driving fun.
Unfortunately, Chevrolet wouldn't be offering sport versions of family cars for much longer, thanks to emissions standards and the oil crises soon to follow.
