Re: "Lil Old Lady" '71 Nova
[ QUOTE ]
Looking at the front bumper, the car is a 70. (clear park lamps)
She did say she bought it new in 71, maybe it sat on the lot for a while
[/ QUOTE ] I thought that at first too, but the car was definitely a '71. It had the '71 style steering wheel, door panels, etc. It also had the vent do-hickey inside the trunk that wasn't introduced until '71. I was thinking perhaps it had something to do with the relocation of the jack assembly. I guess it's entirely possible that some early '71 models simply got the last of the left over '70 park lamp lenses. She did say it had never been wrecked or had any major work done, which was obvious when looking at the car. I think it's safe to say the park lamp lenses are the originals too.
