My next project if I return west will be to restore a 1980 CommutaCar PostalVan.

 It was built by a company called CommuttaCar in about 1980. The company started as Citi Car in 1974. Remember the gas lines in 1973? The company lasted 1974 to 1976 when cheap and plentiful gas returned to the market and at over $4000 the electric car could not compete so they went bankrupt. Parts of the company were bought at auction and were reborn as the CommuttaCar in 1978. The CommutaCar was slightly improved and had more power. New models were introduced such as the CommuttaVan and this PostalVan. I have found only one mention of the PostalVan so if anyone knows more please let me know.
