A diminutive Canada Post mail van...
A diminutive Canada Post mail van parked outside Dollar Blitz in the Merivale Market strip mall in the Ottawa suburb of Nepean.
I wasn't sure who made these vans. I thought it might have been Grumman like the larger vans, but then I had a close look at this photo and was rather surprised to see the Chevrolet logo on the hubcaps.
Doing a little research, I found this Adobe Acrobat pdf document from Transport Canada that calls this truck the "Canada Post Solectria-Grumman LLV Electric Postal Delivery Truck". So why does it have Chevy hubcaps, then?
Wikipedia has the answer. The body and final assembly is from Grumman, but General Motors builds the chassis.
