These things are actually quite "clean burning", IIRC... very good emissions controls/systems.

Besides, I always liked how these trucks looked, and the fact that UPS has their very own truck design.

Also, I think they're specially made for UPS. I've never seen one of these that was NOT a UPS truck.

#3, Could have sworn they were made by Grumman... but, anywho, I've heard that UPS never allows their old "round" trucks to be sold used... they're very protective of their unique-look trucks.

#6, From Wikipedia:
"The classic UPS package car is built on a General Motors or Ford chassis, has a manual transmission, manual steering, and no radio or air conditioning. The older ones are easily recognizable due to their round headlights and turn signals set onto a sculpted fiberglass hood. These are either Grumman Olson or Union City Body P-500, P-600, or P-800 step vans (a recent redesign changed the look, replacing the round turn signals with ovoid LED ones). The cars lack manufacturer's name or badges, thus parking tickets received against UPS for vehicles in delivery service have been dismissed in court; the enforcement officer having incorrectly identified the make on the ticket."

#6, Some make their way into the used market, but it's very rare.
