Minneapolis Street Sighting: Chevy Bel Air

Okay, so this wasn't exactly on the street, but c'mon.. how often do you see non hotrodded four door Chevys, much less non hotrodded plain jane Chevys? If you answered almost never.. you're correct. I spotted this clean example outside a service station in my nieghborhood and had to take a peek. On the surface, it appeared very nice, so I went in to have a closer look; my inspection paid off. This Bel Air (which is a 1960 model) was honestly one of the cleaner cars I've seen in this state; no bondo, no rust, and no apparent weathering. The paint looked clean, the hubcaps were all there, and in pretty good nick, too. Same for the interior; something tells me this particular Bel Air is simply a well-kept daily driver owned by someone who appreciates classic cars. Now only of more owners would share the same views. I only wish more example of these bygone cars were kept in their original state instead of being hacked up into hotrods and otherwise.
While a four door base model isn't really my thing, I appreciate this one for what it is; a peek back 50 years (.. what? really?) into what roamed the streets of Minneapolis' past. I can just picture this thing sitting at the stoplight of Lake and Hennepin being flanked by an olive green over white 1951 Ford convertible with minor surface rust on the left, and a ratty 1936 Ford pickup that has since had its bed removed on the right. Oh how Uptown would've looked much cooler-- and had better cars to spot.
