Remember the days when you looked forward to the mail carrier making a daily stop at your house? Who knows what interesting letters or exciting packages they would deliver!
In this edition of Automotive Revolution, Rick DeBruhl introduces the vehicle that made it all happen, your old best friend, the Kaiser DJ-5 mail truck.
The 1970 Kaiser mail truck, or Jeep DJ-5, represents an important chapter in the history of postal service vehicles. Its robust design and reliable performance made it a favorite for mail carriers, and its influence can still be seen in modern postal delivery vehicles.
Be sure to come see it in person at the Martin Auto Museum.
