When a car company goes looking for a corporate spokesperson they want someone everyone trusts - like football great O. J. Simpson!
In this spot, the '70 Nova is compared feature by feature with O.J. Simpson - as in; the Nova has more horsepower than OJ Simpson and the Nova has more padding than OJ Simpson.
Here's another comparison - if the Nova killed anybody it was probably an accident.
I love these old commercials.....just nice reminder of simpler times.

Nova's makers cost taxpayers billions in bailout money. O.J.'s Simpson's legal problems have cost taxpayers millions.

In those days, O.J. was quite respectable...and "bankable". Anything he endorsed was guaranteed to sell. So, in late '69, he was helping pitch the 1970 Chevy Nova. Several years later, he was representing Hertz Rent-A-Car...
