What became of the two R4 powered Zip Vans built for the Postal Department, as exhibition drag racers. They were intended to publicize the new five digit Zip Code. Paint jobs were red, white and blue; with the cartoon figure "Mr. Zip" and South Bend's Zip Code. They may have been alcohol fueled or boosted by nitrous oxide. Possibly they were stashed in a warehouse, or surplus lot; or even put to work delivering mail in some remote area. At this date, does anyone know?
