Answer to bonus question for Nov 1st 2024
Who invented the right-hand drive vehicle for mail delivery and where was it made?
Crosley. Powel Crosley Jr., an American inventor and entrepreneur, founded the Crosley Corporation, which produced small, affordable cars. In the 1930s and 1940s, Crosley vehicles became popular for various specialized uses, including mail delivery. These cars were often right-hand drive to facilitate easier delivery of mail to roadside mailboxes without the driver having to exit the vehicle.
Crosley vehicles were made in the United States, primarily in Cincinnati, Ohio. They were especially favored for their compact size, which made them ideal for navigating rural routes and performing tasks like mail delivery.
