I used to live in a small mountain town. The official vehicles were ancient so any time there was snow I'd see the carriers in Tacomas or Jeeps with a magnetic US Mail decal on the side. They also modified their routes slightly to accommodate left side steering wheels.

Interestingly a mate back in the 90s used to g to the US from Australia and ship back container loads of classic British cars and car parts sourced cheap in the US at a time when that fad was on the wane there and bargains could be had that sold for a good markup in Australia.
