Standard UPS parcel van. No way of finding out what's below the carrosserie. |

They did not use a standard base? We could list that as "UPS" maker then... |

They kept the carrosserie - except details - and changed the base from time to time. Sometimes the lights are the only way to guess what's below. In Germany it was Citroen/Peugeot for some time, followed by Mercedes. |

In Germany they used Mercedes-Benz chassis, today standard MB vans without extra bodywork design. No, as UPS is not the manufacturer, even if those vans are exclusively made for them. |

I've heard or read (maybe here actually  ) that in Europe they used VW basis previously.Recently in Belgium I saw a UPS MB with standard body, as you described Alex. If UPS is the exclusive user would it really be wrong to list that as UPS make? Or we would have to find who makes these for them... -- Last edit: 2006-05-14 00:09:39 |

In the U.S. the UPS trucks are Grumman Olson bodied, but they are based by various drive train manufacturers link here -- Last edit: 2006-05-14 03:23:07 |

..I don't see any problem with using UPS as the make.(..these are exclusively made for UPS...and it seems the base/engine etc..varies from country to country.!) |

We could use Grumman Olson as the manufacturer and UPS as the model |

Sounds good to me. Hey, I remember when UPS's primary vans were Ford P-Series trucks with 1954 Ford grilles. I always thought the ones they've had for the past 40 years or so were evolved from them. |
