Extremely rare! The Metro VanU.S. Mail truck is very difficult to find and was probably made in limited numbers as a special order for The U.S. Post Office. No special markings were on the box. Construction details were unchanged. Did they all have #5000447 on the front doors? Who knows?
1959 Toy Version
There’s no doubt that by 1959 PMC was marketing the Metro Van as a toy, rather than a manufacturer’s promotional item. The wheels were changed (for the worse) and there was no triple diamond decal on the roof.
