<VV> The Ultra Van - Nova connection

[James Davis]

Just remember the Nova's popularity led the Ultra Corporation to use the 66 
Nova's front knuckles, steering arms, wheel hubs and bearings, brake drums, 
and tie rods on the Ultra Vans.  This make replacement parts and upgrades 
readily available and cheap.
