FactRight-hand-drive FJ-3s went straight to the US Postal Service, identifiable by their horizontal grille slats.
The Jeep FJ Fleetvan was a compact delivery van built by Willys Motors and Kaiser-Jeep (then AMC) from 1961 to 1975 at Toledo, based on the DJ-3A Dispatcher but with the F-134 Hurricane engine (2.2 L four); two models were available at first, the FJ-3 and the longer FJ-3A, with a Borg-Warner T-90 three-speed manual and a Borg-Warner 35 automatic optional. Right-hand-drive FJ-3s were made for the US Postal Service (with horizontal grille slats); the FJ-6 (based on the CJ-6) was introduced in 1965 for postal use and replaced by the FJ-8 and FJ-9 in 1975. Wheelbase 81 in (FJ-3) or 101 in (FJ-6), length 135 in or 154 in, width 64.7 in, height 90.1 in; a Mahindra FJ was also built in India.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Chevy pitched the Astro as the anti-minivan, telling buyers life was too big for one, while it rode on a rear-wheel-drive truck frame.
The IIHS rated the Astro Poor in a 1996 crash test, yet 2001–2004 Astros later had the lowest driver death rate of any US passenger vehicle.
The boxy, unglamorous Astro quietly posted one of the best real-world safety records in America: IIHS found 2001-2004 models had the fewest driver deaths per million vehicles of any passenger vehicle on US roads.
The third-generation Tourneo Connect, released in Europe in October 2021, is a rebadged fourth-generation Volkswagen Caddy, assembled by Volkswagen in Poland.
Ford beat the 25% "chicken tax" by importing the Transit Connect as a passenger van — rear windows and seats included, then stripped out and recycled once it landed in the US.
Ford spent years in federal court over the second-gen Transit Connect: in June 2019 the US won its appeal, and judges ruled the van was cargo-only — ending Ford's workaround for the 'chicken tax.'
GM sold a rebadged Nissan NV200 as the Chevy City Express for four years, then killed it in 2018, citing weak sales and the fact that its parts weren't even compatible with GM's own parts catalog.
Its name is a pun: "S-Cargo" means "Small Cargo" but sounds just like escargot — French for snail, the shape the whole van was built to resemble.
