1962 Nova

In the fall of 1961 the Chevy II came out (as a 1962 model). They first came off the line in Willow Run Mich. along with Corvairs. Later the factories in Norwood OH Oakland CA and Framingham MA. started cranking them out. Three different levels of this car were made - the Chevy II 100 the Chevy II 300 and the Chevy II Nova 400. These cars were available as a 2-door coupe a 2-door sedan a 4-door sedan a 2-seat station wagon a 3-seat station wagon and finally a convertible. Those cars only had the 153 CI inline 4 (Iron-Duke) or the 194 inline six. Those were newly-designed engines specifically designed for this new car. The six used 7 main bearings a revolutionary design in its day.
