'63 Nova

I think the video car is a Chevy Monte Carlo 1972, I'm not sure.

Ya got the "Chevy" part right but that's about it....

'63 Nova

DING, DING! We have a winnah!

The story here is that Elvis Cortez, the lead singer had a 1962 Nova that he sold quite a while back. He LOVED that car and very much regrets selling it. He wrote a song called "My 62" which is on their first CD called "Lonely Starts & Broken Hearts."

Nice job badwhale, you did better than I did because when I first saw the video, I assumed it was a 1962 because I knew of the song he wrote.

As anyone who knows these cars knows (as obviously badwhale does), this one is definitely a 1963 because the grille is distinctively different. 1962 was the first year of the Chevy II/Nova and for the 1963 models they changed the grille and they spelled out "CHEVROLET" in block letters on the hood. At 2:02 in the video, it's clear that this is a 1963.
