Willis FC-150 PTT 1956 ()】<, USA br) In the late 1950 s, the Swiss Postal Service decided to buy a new car and introduced a FC150 light truck produced by Willis Motor Company, an American manufacturer known as Jeep.
The fact that the FC150 was all-wheel-drive seems to have been a major reason for the purchase.
For many years, all-wheel-drive cars have been used to deliver mail to the Swiss mountains.
But the combination of all-wheel-drive and short-wheelbase, which provides excellent maneuverability on Alpine roads as well as four wheel-drive, matched well with the characteristics of the Swiss postal business.
It is easy to understand how difficult it was to deliver mail to the Alpine region in the 1950 s and 60 s.
It is easy to understand how difficult it was to deliver mail to the Alpine region in the present day.
In most cases, the Jeep FC150 was purchased with only a cab, but in the winter, the combination of all-wheel-drive and short-wheelbase should have made daily work considerably easier.
In most cases, the Jeep FC150 was purchased with only a cab, without a rear body.
The Swiss Postal Service chose a closed-box structure with a fully integrated driver's seat.
For large packages and parcels, the FC150 was fitted with a large roof rack on the roof, as was the case with almost all mail vehicles.
