You're right. The Post Office hasn't used these in a long time. And it's not just in Rhode Island. Although, from time to time, you'll find local postal workers who buy used ones and drive them around to deliver the mail anyhow. -- Last edit: 2008-08-09 16:23:32

I wonder why it is in service then? is this movie supposed to be set in the past of something?
Sandie ◊ 2012-01-13 16:59	Probably because it is a movie prop and the film makers could not find the accurate more modern postal vehicle.

GodzillaFan54 ◊ 2016-07-10 21:24	Interesting that Shoeshine/Underdog's bark broke both the widnow and the mailman's glasses, but not the windshield on the van
