Ein US-Amerikaner im eidgenössischen Dienst

In der zweiten Hälfte der 1950er Jahre entschied sich die eidgenössische, staatliche Post zum Ankauf von neuen Fahrzeugen und erwarb FC-150 Kleinlaster aus der Fertigung des US-Herstellers Willys Motor Company, besser bekannt unter dem Label Jeep.

Als Grund für die Wahl der FC-150 Modelle dürfte höchstwahrscheinlich der Allradantrieb ein wichtiges Kaufargument dargestellt haben. Allrad getriebene Fahrzeuge kamen traditionsgemäß für den Postzustelldienst in den Bergregionen der Eidgenossen großflächig zum Einsatz. Doch nicht nur der Vierrad-Antrieb, sondern auch der kurze Radstand, der eine sehr hohe Wendigkeit auf den Alpenstraßen zuließ, passte gut in das Profil der Schweizer Post.

Es ist auch heute noch gut nachvollziehbar, wie beschwerlich das Verteilen der Postsendungen in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren in der Alpenregion war. Mag dies in der kurzen Sommerzeit noch einigermaßen problemlos möglich gewesen sein, so dürfte in den Wintermonaten gerade der Allradantrieb in Verbindung mit dem kurzen Radstand des Lastwagens den Arbeitsalltag erheblich erleichtert haben.

Höchstwahrscheinlich wurde der Jeep FC-150 lediglich mit Führerhaus und ohne Heckaufbau gekauft. Die Schweizer Post entschied sich für einen geschlossenen Kastenaufbau, bei dem das Führerhaus vollkommen integriert wurde. Für große Gepäckstücke bekam der FC-150 - wie nahezu alle posteigenen Fahrzeuge - einen großen Dachständer auf einen Großteil des Dachs montiert. Lackiert in den typischen drei Farben der PTT, gelb und silber, getrennt durch einen schwarzen Strich, avancierte der FC-150 ab der zweiten Hälfte der 1950er Jahre bis in die 1970er Jahre zum vertrauten Bild in den Alpen.

Un Américain pour les facteurs suisses

Dans la seconde moitié des années 1950, la Poste Suisse décide d'acheter de nouveaux véhicules et acquiert des petits camions Type FC-150 issus de la production du constructeur américain « Willys Motor Company », plus connu sous la marque « Jeep ».

Sa transmission intégrale a probablement été un argument d'achat important. Les véhicules à traction intégrale étaient traditionnellement utilisés pour le service postal dans les régions montagneuses suisses. Non seulement les 4 roues motrices, mais aussi l'empattement court permettaient une très bonne maniabilité sur les routes alpines, mais également répondaient tout à fait aux attentes de la Poste Suisse.

On comprend encore combien il était difficile de distribuer le courrier dans cette région alpine entre 1950 et 1960. Surtout en hiver !  C’est à cette période que la transmission intégrale associée à l'empattement court du camion facilitait grandement le travail quotidien des facteurs.

Ce Jeep FC-150 a été commandé avec une cabine sans la carrosserie arrière. La Poste Suisse a opté pour une structure en caisson fermé dans laquelle la cabine du conducteur était entièrement intégrée. Pour les colis (gros comme petits), le FC-150 - comme presque tous les véhicules postaux – était équipé d’une grande galerie de toit. Peint aux trois couleurs typiques des "PTT" (Agence Suisse Poste Télégraphe et Téléphone); jaune et argent que séparait une ligne noire, le FC-150 est devenu une image familière des Alpes suisses de la seconde moitié des années 1950 aux années 1970.

Kids Formal Vest Review
Color: Royal Blue, Size: 12, Color: Royal Blue, Size: 12
At the time of review, the price was $17.09. It seems to be correctly priced for the value it provides. I found this vest to be versatile, suitable for a range of formal and semi-formal occasions, from weddings to school events, and capable of being dressed up or down. The fit generally seemed accurate or slightly generous, though it does come with the adjustable back strap offering some customization. The overall quality of the vest, including its construction and stitching, appeared to be good, with a durable and well-made feel. It presented a polished and sharp appearance that could elevate an outfit, and the color is very close to the product image. The material felt substantial and structured, yet breathable, often featuring a silky lining and a notable texture and seems to be machine washable. Based on the quality I've seen, I considered this vest to offer good value for its price point. The vest provides a functional option for children's formal wear. Its design and construction suggest practical utility for various events... or your kid can just wear it all the time like mine does.

Great Boys Suit Vest
Color: Black, Size: 12, Color: Black, Size: 12
I recently had a chance to pick up this boy's suit vest for my upcoming wedding, and it is absolutely perfect. It fits my son so well, running very true to size. The material is so silky smooth and soft, he absolutely loves it. He's autistic and has a thing about different fabrics and this does not irritate or bother him at all. It is going to be perfect over his long sleeve button down shirt. The best looks amazing on him, and the black color is definitely a very dark true black. It is such a great value for the money, you will not be disappointed! I highly recommend picking this up if you need one for your boy or if you have a family member who needs one for an upcoming event.

Boys vest
Color: Black, Size: 8
The vest looks nice. It seems well made and looks high quality. The fabric is nice. The buttons seem very sturdy. The vest is lightweight and shouldn’t be too sweaty. It’s a nice versatile piece. Can be dressed up or down. The fit is a smidge awkward on my boys, but they still like it.

Looks very nice and sizing is right
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 14, Color: Navy Blue, Size: 14
I ordered this for my 13-year-old who currently wears a size 12-14. He's closer to the 12, but has enough clothes in that size, so I ordered the 14 in navy blue. He chose the color, although it took him a while to decide. My kids so far have preferred not to go to school dances or dressier school functions, but I try to keep an outfit on hand in case they need it, and he does have to dress up a little for school band performances. He doesn't really have any kind of clothing preferences (yet), and is just as likely to look dressed up as he is to wear something completely wrinkled (but clean). This vest fits as expected. It is a bit large on him to the same degree that the other size 14 clothes he has are. He is pretty skinny, so while I think it would fit someone who is more average sized, I'm not sure how well it will do on huskier sizes. It has a nice buckle on the back as most men's vests like these have, so it can be adjusted in that sense. The navy color is a bit of a brighter shade than your average navy, but not outside of the normal range for navy. I like it. It’s hard to get the exact color in pictures. The fabric and construction both seem to be good quality. The fabric feels average compared to my husband's dress vests, better than the lower quality/cheaper ones and not quite as nice as the ones he spent more on. This boy's dress vest is currently being sold for approximately $20, which I think is great for a nice dress vest like this.

"Navy Vest & Pocket Square Charm; Formal Polish for Perfect Pairing
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 8, Color: Navy Blue, Size: 8
This very charming boys navy blue vest pairs perfectly with the accompanied pocket square, adding formal charm to dockers or navy khakis. My boys look dapper in matching sets. A timeless style that elevates any outfit. Made with quality fabric that appears to resist wrinkles, with the pocket square folding neatly for that polished touch. Comfortable and event ready.
