a 63 Studebaker Zip Van. On facebook marketplace... here's a rare opportunity to restore a van (little more than a good paint job) to a well remembered iconic professional postal delivery van! It's a Zip Code van! (Thank you Blind Dog Fabrications!)

 
Called the zip van because ZIP Codes were just being introduced by the postal service at time.

So these vans were named zip vans to help spread the work and were only made one year by Studebaker because AMC was a low bidder the next go around for the contract.

There were 4,238 made and probably less than a handful still in existence

They have 2 sets of gas pedals, so they could be driven while standing and while sitting.

As I just posted last week, https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2025/07/1951-studebaker-2r6-stepvan-restored-by.html  professional vehicles are a rare sight at car shows, museums, etc

This painted one, was sold in 2021 on Bring a Trailer, https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1963-studebaker-zip-van-2/
