What happened to the nova?

Considering they were a copy cat of the Nova, it is not surprising that many people who are not “educated” in cars see that.

Throw all the knives you want. It’s a fact. :)

im not complaining, i just thought it was funny
a lot of it is also the way people are "educated", simply what they grew up with

i had my girls with me when i went to drop of the truck at the shop, and they had a 1/18 diecast of a mustang in there

my youngest, who is six, said :look daddy, a duster
so i had to explain to her that was a 67 mustang

I've had people call my Demon race car a Nova, even though it has a big Mopar M decal on each side of the hood scoop and Mopar spelled out on the rear quarter panels.

one of my funniest situations with the duster happened a few years ago
i had driven it to the hardware store and as i walked back out of the store i happened to be behind a couple that was looking at it

i was just close enough to hear them
the husband said something along the lines of "i wonder what kind of a car that is" and the wife goes, thats a 71 duster
it was hilarious, the guy stopped dead in his tracks and almost shouted "how could you possibly know that?"

and in a real chipper voice the wife goes "says so right on it"

and she wasnt lying either
