1957 Chevy Nova Coupe !

I just thought you guys might get a good laugh at this abortion.

its better than those 80's thunderbirds they bolt the 50 ford body kits on.

 

Yeah the kinda missed it on the grille, but at least it's not a four-door!

 

Different and may actually have some potential...........I can't believe I am even saying this

 

Im with you. Id pick that up for $400 an work with it

 

Might just as well go ahead and swap out the roof too and really keep them wondering about those proportions...

 

Looks to be the super rare "Gonad" prototype.

 

obrother....

 

Somewhow I expected it to look worse...
Its kind of sectioned looking, with weird A-pillar wrongness.
And the fin's climb like a Caddy with that roof line!

It REALLY should look worse, though...this is not to say its good, but...not at all what I envisioned.
It IS definately better than the 50 Ford Thunderbird.

 

It looks like a poor mans Che-Zoom. Or whatever that purple behemoth that was featured in magazines those years ago.

 

So the guy in high school that said he had one of those wasn't bullshitting me after all.

 

except for the front...it kinda works

 

Ha Chevrolet should have hired this guy on as lead engineer...I have to say I was expecting worse though

 

Waste of good trim.

 

Years ago they sold street/trail bikes, they were neither.
looks like they wasted a nova and some '57 parts, but hey what ever floats yer boat... saw one of those T-Bird/shoebox deals that was a convert. it turned out ok,
maybe this would look better without the top???

 

damn that must be really rare, ive never seen one of those(just kidding)

i read the title and was thinking wtf!! but really it does look alot better than i thought it would, maybe there is some potentiel and yeah it really is much better than those stupid thunderbird things

 

That could be cool....I think....maybe not....possibly....I don't think so....is this mixed emotions I am having.

 

it's not bad, getting the grill to look right would be tricky tho.

 

The question that begs to be asked: WHY

I mean the Thunderbird deal was a newish car with all the creature comforts, an old '69 Nova ain't that. And besides, why ruin two cars to make one POS?

But I praise the builder for not doing a four-door.

 

Maybe better with the nova grill and bumper? cool.

 

Way to fuck up two decent cars at once....congrats

 

well I threw up a little and then looked at it closer..........could be,I just hate nova/cameros

 

Why do I keep looking at it?
Hmmmm....I think it makes me want to see a really nicely sectioned '57...
It keeps not being that, but, yet...still...it might be in there...somewhere.

 

I was thinking of making a Thunderbird kit for '50 fords. Good idea or bad?

 

Why would you even spend time and money doing that???? total loss of trim and bumpers!

 

I kind of like it, I think it has some potential. First thing it needs though is to go hardtop.

As to why, why not? It's just a pile of old Chevy parts. And it sure would make people do a double-take on the street.

 

i liek the roof, honestly, make the fins look good, the grille though, ughh..... and the windshield looks funky. i hope it was made out of a pile of junk and not to good cars.... thats would be just stupid....

 

Jimmaknee !

 

Imagine what the conversation was like when he told his friends he was going to do that...

I know someone out there had to tell him NO! DONT DO IT!!

 

interesting I say drop the top six inches and make it look like it can fly. thats what the batmobile would have looked like if bruce wayne was as broke as us
