1966 Chevy II Nova, SS, 100, and Sportvan - Chevrolet Dealer Sales Training Film - (327 L79)

“Standout Performer” is a Chevrolet dealer training filmstrip from September '65 which introduced the ’66 Nova, Super Sport, and 100 as well as the Sportvan to the sales staff. The video covers the exterior and interior features of each model as well as the various engines (153, 194, 230, 283, and 327 including the 350 hp L79).
Watch closely when the model chart is shown and you will see the availability of the sport coupe and 2-dr. sedan are mistakenly reversed.
This video was originally a filmstrip with the sound coming from a companion 33 rpm vinyl record with beeps to indicate when to advance to the next slide.

I miss both my '66s. I had a 2 door hardtop from '82-'06 and a wagon from '90-'00. Both were Sandalwood Tan with Fawn interiors. The hardtop was a two-tone with a Cameo Beige roof. Both were 195 hp 283/'Glide cars with factory air.

I have owned a 66 Nova two door hardtop since 1983, it's a great car.

Once again the Nova wagon is top choice.

The chart at 0:23 seems to have a major mistake. Sport coupe (hardtop) is shown as being available in the 100 series only.

@KDoyle4 you have a good eye and you are correct. The chart has the availability of the sport coupe and 2-dr. sedan reversed. The sport coupe was only available with the Nova and Nova SS and the 2-dr sedan was only available on the 100 Series. The chart however shows the exact opposite. As I'm going through my collection of these films (probably have 100+ of them) it seems that mistakes are common.

In the sixties drag car guys used to use wagons as tow vehicles and we're seen throughout the pits. Drag guys being drag guys there might have been several 4speeds.
