By JACOB BOGAGE | The Washington Post | Published: May 24, 2021 When Philip Rubio saw his new mail truck, the first thing he noticed was the missing rearview mirror. The Grumman Long Life Vehicle the U.S. Postal Service s now-ubiquitous delivery van, which first hit the streets in 1987 didn t have a back window. It didn t have an air bag. It didn t have air conditioning. The heating system was unreliable. But shoot, if it didn t look good. Everybody has their own LLV story, said Rubio, a retired letter carrier and a professor of history at North Carolina A&T State University. I think it was a morale booster for letter carriers to see a new vehicles, to see a fleet, and to see something that looked good on the street.
