I just keep on forgetting to quote. The Yankees.

[rmaynard 15,396]

You are correct. The New York Yankees were formerly the Baltimore Orioles until 1902.

 

Your turn.

Let’s go back to the Nova topic. In 1971 another GM manufacturer built a clone to the third generation Nova. Soon after that two other GM manufacturers followed suit with Nova clones of their own. These cars generally utilized the manufacturer specific motors at their beginning but ultimately GM decided to use Chevy motors across the line. The fact that they were Novas with their own nose, tail and trim was clear. What was the model called for each of the three manufacturers?

Now you're talking my youth. I had a 1963 Chevy II with a 327 with Holley 4-barrel. Once Chevy stopped the late 60's style, I no longer liked them. So my answer is...

 

The "X" body? (Olds Omega,  Pontiac Ventura, Buick Apollo)

[Racinbob 11,030]

Spot on Bob. This is exactly what I bought new in 1973. The only difference from the picture is mine had Cragers on it.

 

 

You're up again Mr. Maynard.

  La La Land?

[rmaynard 15,396]

No, I am looking for past Oscar winners, not future.

Gone with the wind is incorrect. However, one of the players in GWTW was in one of the other 3 movies.

The Godfather?

[Digger 66 3,478]

Oh well , that's the extent of my classic film knowledge .

[rmaynard 15,396]

The Godfather is incorrect as well, however, you are very close to the date of one of the other three.

Exorcist?

[rmaynard 15,396]

The Exorcist is a scary wrong answer. However, the main character in The Exorcist had "head problems", and the main character in one of the other movies wanted people to think he had head problems.
