After Testing The 1976 Chevrolet Nova

The 1977 Chevrolet Nova marketing division wanted to set the posh Nova Concours mannequin aside from lower-rent Novas. So Chevrolet issued a separate Concours gross sales brochure with photos and text that bespoke elegance. Styling touches differed between the Concours and other Novas. The Concours had finer-mesh grille and sported a trendy stand-up hood ornament, newly designed wheel covers, and wider bright wheel-opening moldings.

Though the 158 F1 ran again in 1965, Ferrari’s mainstay F1 machine that season was the Ferrari 512 F1. It had a 225-horsepower 1490cc "flat" 12 as a substitute of the V-8. The car regarded good on paper, however no rival was a match for Lotus and natural anabolic steroid Jim Clark; they dominated to take the constructors and driver championships. The perfect the Ferrari 512 F1 might muster was two second-place finishes.

On April 16, 1961, Oldsmobile added what would come to be the 1962 Oldsmobile F-85 Jetfire's predecessor -- an F-85 Cutlass coupe with bucket seats and a luxury interior -- as its response to growing demand for sporty compacts like Chevrolet's Corvair Monza. For 1962, the Cutlass coupe and its new convertible companion acquired the 185-horse V-8, but halfway by way of the model 12 months, Oldsmobile had a bigger shock on tap.
