Henry “Hank” Haga’s Chevrolet #2 Studio design a sleek Chevy II-based sporty coupe concept they called “Super Nova.” Cleanly sculpted with minimal decorative chrome, it sported a short deck and low profile, a (Mustang-like) long hood, and a sloping rear roof. Mitchell liked it so much that he developed a fiberglass-bodied running car and sent it to the April 4, 1964 New York Auto Show. Its presence there—in apparent production-ready form, two weeks before the Mustang’s scheduled April 17 unveiling at the New York World’s Fair—likely made Ford folks very nervous.
