Nice Caddy, Mike! Interesting results with the ORWO UN54+, I think it suits the subject well.
An unexpected surprise! I can’t remember the last time I saw a Corvair cruising the streets of Yokohama.
All the best,
Mike
Yokosuka Mike--nice pics! I can't remember seeing a Corvair ANYWHERE on the streets for a loooooong time!

Mike,
I don’t know if you are cherry picking cars, but from what you post it seems like Yokahama residents have a lot of respect for old machinery. Not only is the wheat separated from the chaff, but it seems mostly taken care of at a high level as well.
Nice looking Corvair, the most dishonestly maligned car in automotive history, a fact which now makes them cheaper than they would be otherwise.
That Corvair is a beut, Mike! The owner is clearly dedicated to its preservation. That one would be 1964 or earlier. Considerable change for the 1965-69 model... I restored a 1965 Corsa turbo and also had a 1966 coupe with a 327 Corvette motor in the middle. Whoop! There is still an active Corvair club in the Puget Sound area. Boo to Ralph Nader!
Hah! I hadn't noticed that detail until you pointed it out! Another detail... it appears to have been lowered a bit. And since these earlier Corvairs had rear swing-axle (which Nader criticized), lowering visibly changes the camber geometry of the rear wheels.Hey Doug! By the looks of the license plate I'd say you're spot on with thinking it's a 1964.
All the best,
Mike
