Postal employees have had a number of motorized vehicles at their
disposal over the decades, but perhaps none so cartoonish as the
mid-1950s Fageols. Unlike today's stark and angular Grummans, the
Fageols looked like overinflated balloons on four wheels, and reader
Joan Schoenly appears to have run with that idea with her lemon-lime
ex-postal van.
"I dubbed her 'Pure Sunshine on Wheels' or 'Silly Sally Sunshine,'"
she wrote. "I couldn't resist buying her even though I did not know
exactly what I was going to do with her. I went back and forth between
selling my artwork out of her or selling lemonade and I decided on the
lemonade."
