Below this paragraph is a photograph of the Grumman LLV, the main vehicle of the United States Postal Service. It is an icon. It has been the main mail truck in just about every neighborhood I’ve ever lived in, for my entire life, for a simple reason. Despite the last LLV rolling off the line in 1994—three years before I was born—it is still, by far, the most prominent postal vehicle in the country.
