We present spectrophotometric data for the old nova CP Puppis (Nova Puppis 1942) that demonstrates the simultaneous existence of two distinct periods for the system. We find that the photometric period of 0.06834(7) day is 11 percent longer than the spectroscopic period. We also present Doppler tomographic images of CP Pup that indicate the existence of an accretion disk in the system. Finally, we interpret the observational evidence in terms of a DQ Herculis model and an SU Ursae Majoris model for CP Pup. While the evidence mildly supports both interpretations, it is insufficient for us to conclusively classify CP Pup as either a DQ Her system or an SU UMa system.
