    Ooo, carbon paper! Good idea!

    I tried using heel ball wax and butcher paper to make a rubbing and didn't get anything!

    A little Nova trivia.The Chevrolet Nova was the first model built on its chassis. GM then made the Oldsmobile Omega, Pontiac Ventura, and the Buick Apollo using the Nova chassis. If you take the first letter from each of those models, Nova-Omega-Ventura-Apollo, it spells NOVA:biggrin5::idea::biggrin5: (this truly proves that I'm older than dirt)

    perhaps it's been stated but 86 pages is a rather long read :) you are rather old if you remember riding in the back "parcel tray" (area between the glass and back of the rear seats" on family road trips. man you'd go to jail if you let your kid do that today.

    You are right, but it was cool to ride there. Then I got too big to fit. :)

    My dad had a dog mounted on the parcel shelf and its eyes lit up when he applied the brakes.
