I also had a 68 Chevy badged Chevy II-Nova. Floorboards were rotted...used plywood over some boards to cover the holes.

In the 90s, we owned a sky blue 68 Nova that we bought secondhand with very low miles and in superb all-original shape. Bench seats, 6 cylinder, 3 on the tree, a pleasure to drive. It was a great car, and never caused us problems. Got it a lovely new deluxe paint job, and it really turned heads everywhere we went. We even took extensive photos, and had it featured in a Nova enthusiasts’ magazine!

Finally, around a decade later when the paint job started to wear out (rust), we reluctantly sold it to a teenage kid and his dad a couple blocks away, who used it as a father and son bonding project, spiffed it up bigtime, and then got it painted red. Not a good color choice in Florida.... we watched sadly from a distance, as things went downhill for it from there.

Since you’re reminiscing about old cars ...

In my early days I had ...

1935 Ford 2-Dr sedan
1941 Chevrolet Club Coupe
1949 Oldsmobile Club Coupe
1955 Buick Special Riviera 2-Dr Hardtop
1957 Buick Caballero (Now - that was a sexy wagon)

And it goes on from there, to where I now have a ...

Yes - I’m an old duffer [:>)
