Clean Duck: 1975 Ford Maverick Survivor

Conventionally Attractive: 1964 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova
I’ve been a Corvair guy for a long time, and have owned my ’65 for 14 years, so I’ve always been a little dismissive of the Chevy II—too conventional, too derivative, too basic in comparison. It served a purpose, though,… more»
