When you think back to 1960's American cars, what comes to mind? For most, it's the Chevelle, the Challenger, the GTO, or about a dozen other muscle cars that ruled the streets and have solidified their place in Americana a long time ago.

Few think back to the more simple offerings from big auto makers like the Chevy II Nova or the Ford Falcon. It takes a special person to put these run-of-the-mill economy cars in a YouTube video for a comparison, but luckily we have RegularCars, and Mr. Regular's take on the 1965 Chevy II.

If by the end of the video you find yourself on Craigslist searching for a cheap Chevy II, don't worry, we all are.
