Ford Model A half-ton parcel post truck

Mifflinburg Body Company · 1931- c. 1954

This 1931 Ford Model A half-ton truck was used primarily for parcel post service. In 1932 Post Office Department mechanics combined the Ford Model A chassis with a Mifflinburg Body Company truck body. The truck’s service record is unavailable prior to 1949. That year it was in service in Enfield, Connecticut, where it was sold as surplus in 1952. In 1985 the truck’s donor acquired the vehicle and restored it to its 1931 status. Marked with "U.S. Mail" on the sides and front, the truck is number 11617, which is also painted clearly on the vehicle.
