1968 Chevrolet Corvair 500

As promised, the mystery car parked behind the Ford Econoline in the previous post.

Chatted with the owner -- says the "500" was the base model. He flipped up the front chrome latch with the unique Chevy badge on it to expose the lock for the front trunk. The Corvair was such a unique car for GM, not what you think of when you think 60s Chev.

It's that design and shape. Compared to other modestly priced cars of the era, it had a sleek look, all sloping and curving surfaces. Those tough looking wheels don't hurt either. The only off note is the rear end, which is a bit too long, has a bit too much overhang.
