I was a part time rural carrier in Highland, NY back in the mid-sixties. Classified as a heavy duty route with 575 boxes on a 43 mile route, the regular carrier was put on a five day schedule because of this classification, so I worked every Saturday. I started out with a '62 Falcon stick shift. Sat in the middle with the first class mail between me and the passenger door and the magazines in the drivers seat. Could reach the pedals easily from that position. Drove mostly in low and second and would pop the shifter from low to second with the thumb of my left hand which was also the steering hand. I was in my mid-twenties at the time and it made a perfect second job when I really needed the extra money to support our family with two little kids. A little too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. I observed that folks with healthy teenage kids rarely had their box shoveled out but the real old folks almost always did.
