I've had several rural delivery routes, year around, in MN. I've used a Corvair, classic Bug, and a Skylark to do them. The Skylark was the best because it actually had heat. I found no need for 4x4. When roads were bad I piled more cargo over the drive end: Corvair and Bug, in the back seat and floor; Skylark, front seat and floor, as much as possible. The more econo I got, the more money that stayed in my pocket. I also got real good at prepping before the stops and making them uber fast- like a racing pit stop game.
