Modern times meet history on the Mail Delivery Vehicles stamp sheet. Well, "Van of the Postman", that is the theme of the EUROPA stamps in 2013. "The first-class stamps designed for Finland by Susanna Rumpu and Ari Lakaniemi belong to the EUROPA series of European mail operators.
Modern times are represented by a 2012 Ford Transit Connect delivery van, standing next to a row of mailboxes in a sparsely populated area. The other stamp features a 1933 Volvo LV-70 delivery truck, which used to serve the Suolahti–Reisjärvi–Haapalahti route. In addition to mail, the truck could accommodate 20 passengers. Today, the 80-year-old Volvo is standing in the Mobilia automobile and road museum.
My Dear friend Ella sent this lovely FDC issued on 6.5.2013.
