Nova Shines at SEMA 2008

CPP was honored this year in having the Nova chosen for a "choice spot" inside the North Hall lobby at the SEMA 2008 show. With over 60,000 domestic and international buyers expected at the show this year, we were excited to have so much exposure for the car.

Nova Shines at San Pedro Car Show

The Nova made its way out to San Pedro last weekend for the 3rd Annual "Rick Clarke Memorial Car Show" hosted by the Los Angeles Harbor Masonic Lodge. Cars from around the area came out for a beautiful day of hot rods, food, music and fun. The sounds of the Reef Rammers surf rock band, featuring San Pedro's own Jerry Butera, could be heard throughout the day. Over 20 cars were in attendance and a host of friends and family came out to enjoy the festivities. The Masons of California fraternal organization contributes millions of dollars annually to help those who are less fortunate.

Placentia Heritage Show

After a thorough cleaning and detail, the Nova made its way out to Placentia for the 22nd Annual Placentia Heritage Car Show this past weekend. Over 250 cars were on display in the beautiful Tri-City Park along with live entertainment, food booths, parade and fun for the whole family.

SoCal Novas 2008 BBQ

Members of Steve's Nova Site where "Nova People Help Nova People" held their 3rd annual SoCal Novas BBQ last weekend. Over 47 cars showed up for a day of socializing, putting faces to screen names, eating great food, and doing some serious "bench racing". After taking over a small quiet neighborhood street in Alta Loma, they lined up for their annual Victoria Gardens cruise and what a sight to behold! The get together was filmed by the folks over at LiveCarShows.com who will have a DVD available soon of the day's festivities. CPP supported the SoCal group with some raffle prizes and our yellow beauty could be spotted parked amoungst the long line of other first and second generation Novas.

70 Nova on the Goodguys Course

On March 15, 2008

Getting Rev'ved Up 4 Kidz

Our yellow beauty has been making the rounds, with its social calendar rivalling that of a Hollywood starlet. After leaving Seal Beach on Saturday, she made her way up to Vic's Garage in Torrance for the 3rd Annual "Rev'ved Up 4Kidz" Charity Car Show benefitting the Center for Learning Unlimited on Sunday.  Edelbrock hosted the event and we were proud to show off the limited edition Signature Series 383 Small Block engine they provided for the Nova.

Fun in the Sun at Seal Beach

Saturday, April 26th, was the 21st annual running of the Seal Beach Classic Car Show. The Nova joined over 500 other entries including hot rods, custom, classic and race cars. The weather was is perfect form and so was our yellow beauty!

Nova Heads Out to Pomona

It was cold and windy this past weekend at the Pomona Swap Meet and Car Show, but our yellow Nova provided a little ray of sunshine to all that passed by it at the TCI booth. CPP has been attending the Pomona Swap Meet for years joined by thousands of other parts vendors and as well as shoppers at the Fairplex in Pomona, California. The event is appealing to a diverse audience and those that stopped by TCI's booth had nothing but good things to say about CPP's parts and the Nova. Hope to see you next time!

Shining Bright at Goodguys Del Mar

Heading down south for the annual Goodguys Del Mar Get Together, we brought the crowd-pleasing Nova with us. The yellow beauty drew a lot of attention to our booth, with many people recognizing the car from the Goodguys Autocross in Orange County.

Goodguys Pleasanton Show

The Nova made a trek up to Pleasanton, California for the Goodguys Get Together. Toyo Tires, one of our Project Nova sponsors showed off the yellow beauty (and another beauty as well!) in their booth all weekend.

Putting on a Good Show at Autocross

CPP attended the Goodguys 2nd Annual OC Get-Together at the Orange County Fairgrounds this past weekend. It was the first time we exhibited at this show, and it was fun being in our own backyard. The most popular attraction at the show was the Street Challenge Autocross which attracted a wide variety of participants and included several classes of competition. Held on a specially designed course out on the blacktop, the Autocross perimeter was packed all weekend with eager fans. Our '70 Nova was a big hit, especially when owner Jim Ries decided to crank it up a notch and spun out, much to the amusement of the crowd.
