For the United States Postal Service, USPS!  I see Greenlight did one in 1:64.  I got the 2D version today at the actual PO!  😆 😀

What a cool and unusual model!

We've had a few of these in our down town area for some time. But after an incident they restricted them to the city.

Here in the county and countryside, we have a number of one-lane tunnels, under railroad bridges. Drivers are on their own to determine who goes first since they are so narrow and low. 

Early on one such mail truck partially decapitated itself, hence the restricted zoning of the carriers. We still see some drivers using their own cars on rural routes, driving from the right seat using their left foot for gas & brake. Scared

Oshkosh! My goodness, this is different. Excellent driver view but is the USPS getting that much business?

  Well; yes. Except that all of our rural carriers are female and they must be downhome Southern country girls. Here's the one who takes care of our area:

Up in the NC mountains, our rural mail carrier drives an old RHD Cherokee like this one!
