Mr. Perkins Battles, a rural mail carrier of Randolph, Vermont, serves the 75 people on his 27 mile route by using this car to get over the snowy route in winter months.

He has fitted it with tires from a transport plane or two. They have a cross section width of 7 inches and they fit on a 16 inch wheel. They look like huge doughnuts, don't they?

David Giddings, of Fort Pierre, South Dakota, is one of those rural carriers who goes on the assumption that regardless of the weather, it is most imperative that the mail be taken through. And with snow drifts not infrequent on his route, he has rigged up a couple of cars to use in getting his mail distributed.

One of them has a tractor tread, and his other "special occasion" vehicle is this one (1930 68B Cabriolet) with huge airplane wheels which lifts it far enough off the ground to skim over the snowdrifts. The tires are 44 inch transport-plane tires.
