Minneapolis Street Sightings: Chevy Corvair sedan

So, this Corvair wasn't exactly found on the street, but I do think it qualifies, for a few reasons; it's clearly visible to the public, I didn't go into any driveways, and it's not a dealership find. That said, let me jump into my thoughts on this particular example.
This Corvair caught my attention, and rightly so. I don't often see Corvairs, and when I do, it's almost never the sedan model. Much less in this condition. The white paint looked nice, and it lacked obvious peeling that affects GM products of today by far. The trim seemed to be all there, if not showing its age. The wheelcovers seemed to be in remarkable shape, too, especially given the car's age. Overall, the exterior presentation was nice, considering this car just as easily could have been left for dead in a farmer's field up north (which does happen quite a bit I'm afraid.)
The interior was in great shape, too, with the dash seeming pretty damn new. Oh, and I love the details on old dashes. The example on this Corvair is no different; the big, two spoke steering wheels is PERFECT for a car like this. Granted, it does remind me of every other car from the 1950s through 1970s, it still looks good. The dash switchgear is awesome, too. It seems as if cars back then were about functionality, but style as well. I do like new interiors too, but even the nicest of today's interiors have NOTHING on classic car interiors. While I couldn't look it over too closely, I would definitely go back and do so, again, to take in all the details.
There was one thing I didn't care for on this example, though-- the "Heartbeat" license plate. C'mon. We know it's a Chevy. But it's from a period in which Chevy didn't tackify their product with that lame Heartbeart slogan, nor did it plaster the decal on its vehicles. So, please, owner, if you are reading this: REMOVE that damn license plate. All it adds is tackiness and lameness to an otherwise exemplary specimen of a not-too-often seen car.
