lol...I was 5 in 1970
But grew up hearing the phrase Deuce from guys born in the 50's who were always referring to built up Nova's on the street. Saw lot's of Chevy II's in Winnipeg's street scene too, but it was loosely used on both tags.

The USAF Convair F-102 Delta Dagger interceptor was also nicknamed the "Deuce."

So, the Nova being badged as both a Nova and a Chevy II goes back to the 1st generation, and the Chevy II identifier is indeed from being the off shoot of the older and larger Impala line. Some folks believe that '68 was the 'only' year that the Nova was dually badged, but that is not the case, it is simply the last year for that practice. Yenko keyed off the Chevy II moniker when he coined the Yenko Deuce package, and then keyed off of that when he coined the Yenko Ace package for 1971....
