This 1931 Ford Model AA truck was used primarily for parcel post service. The green wood panel body is marked with a horizontal white stripe on each side. The words "U.S. Mail" signify that it is a government mail vehicle. "U.S. Mail" is also painted on the top front of the vehicle. When originally purchased, drab olive green was the signature color of the Post Office Department.
