I presume the design there is at least a nod to fuel efficiency and increasing visibility for the type of driving the USPS typically does. Found an AP article on them - wow, the old trucks are pretty rough across the board (9mpg, no AC, bad visibility).
Yep. Basically a rebody of a first generation S-10 with an iron duke. Not a great car in 1983, a really awful car in 2023

I had an AMC Gremlin, can’t remember if it was a 73 or 74, and it was definitely better looking than the Pacer.

Amen brother. Plus the name Gremlin is kind of cool. Pacer even sounds dumb. Of course, being in my mid-50’s now, I’d proudly drive that Pacer through the neighborhood, drawing all the attention I could to it.

Saw a very dirty CT today. It looks really bad when it’s dirty!
