Chevrolet Nova has 2 listings to explore, dated 1973, giving you a way to begin a visual search with the story’s period in mind. 1970s are the main decades represented here, so their pages are worth exploring when a location needs a mixture of vehicles around the central action. A search by category can begin with American, Classic and Hatchback, the largest selections here; turn to the vehicle pages when you want a closer look at individual examples. Shades include black among the leading choices; open the vehicles that interest you and consider how each might sit beside the rest of the scene.

The Chevrolet Nova began life in the early 1960s as a sensible compact and grew into one of the most loved cars of the American muscle era. The third-generation cars, built from 1968 into the mid-1970s, combined clean, square-shouldered styling with the option of serious V8 power, making them as much at home at a drive-in as on a drag strip.

On screen, a Nova is honest American cool. It suits 1970s American settings, small-town drama, crime stories and road movies, and it is a favourite of music videos and fashion shoots that want muscle-car attitude without the obviousness of a Mustang or Camaro. Its modest size makes it easier to place on British streets and locations than a full-size American car.

UK Novas are typically left-hand drive imports. CarSeen lists 1973 Novas from private owners, including a tribute styled after a famous screen car.
