I figure the Grumman mail trucks would only be safety nightmares if they were sold as regular use vehicles. They generally move slowly and erratically, but they're highly visible and recognizable and their erratic movements are also predictable. That all screams safety to me. It's a work truck, and in its intended use it's not going to hit things very often. Other drivers can see it and predict its movements so it's not going to get hit very often. The real safety problems come from years of neglected maintenance.

Custom vehicles have their pluses, but the stripped minivan would be better overall- much better parts and service availability down the road.
