Limited Edition Chevy Nova

We always enjoy hearing from readers when they have something we haven’t yet learned about or have forgotten about. Such was the case earlier this week when a reader from my home State of Iowa sent in a photo of his blue Special Edition. This is the first blue one I am aware of. Does anyone have total production numbers or additional details on this “All American Edition”? I believe Chevy may have done other versions on other models like the Chevelle and Camaro.

Here is what Steve Weber sent me.

“Richard, saw the article on Legendary Collector Cars about that white Nova, with the red white, and blue stripes, I was originally from Iowa. Also, I have the blue one with red, white and blue stripes, which I bought new in 1972, and I still have it. I just wanted to let you know there’s at least another one out there. That picture was taken in 1972, with one of them old Polaroid instant cameras. I was going to let you know too. As far as I know that striped package is only on 3 colors of blue Nova white Nova and a red Nova, I have seen a red one and the white 1. And everybody I talk to has not seen any other ones like them, just red, white and blue ones had the striped package. Thanks again and you take care“

Here is Steve’s special Nova. Does anyone else out there still have one?

This is the article on our website that Steve is referring to. This is the “All American Edition” Nova. The article also explains the “1976 Spirit of America Edition” which is often confused with the 1972 All Ameican Edition.
