    I'm pretty sure that's off an early to mid-50's Olds, probably a Rocket 88...I had a 49 and the hood ornament was very close.

    How about some pix of that Nova?

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Do a search for madmax nova and you'll find my insanity there.
