They look like that for accessibility, to be driveable and comfortable for even the tallest and shortest postal employees, and that makes them goddamn beautiful.
I did not know that’s why they look like that. Makes a lot of sense but the original (to me) postal truck will always have a special place in my heart.
Yeah it’s something like, the roof is so tall so that the 90th percentile tall American man can stand up in it, and the hood is so low so that the 90th percentile short American woman can see over the nose from the driver’s seat. It absolutely looks like a goober but basically all American adults can comfortably operate it.
