Now thatīs "form follows function" at its best...

Here I was thinking it was called something facy, like Jeep Fleetvan FJ3

[Otto Puzzell]

These were, of course, virtually the same. The Jeeps has vertical grill slots. The Willys variant was manufactured for the USPS (hence the "Zip" nickname) and had horizontal grills. The Postal Service didn't warm to the vans, and the contract was short-lived.

[DeAutogids]

I have seen pictures with both grille-variants, but with the Jeep Fleetvan logo. Hence my surprise.
