This is a model of a Highway Post Office (HPO) bus. The model sports the traditional blue and white body with red stripe color scheme that was used for postal vehicles in the 1950s and 1960s. The model includes side windows that were placed in the area of the bus used by clerks to process mail while the bus was in motion. The rear section of the bus, with access through a back door, was used for storing sacks of already processed mail being carried to the next post office.
