Twin Coach Built: 1956 Dodge Fageol Postal Truck
Back in the 50s, two brothers (William & Frank Fageol) started building custom mail delivery vans using Dodge running gear in Kent, OH under the name “Twin Coach.” Over the years (with various business name changes) they built bus and trolley business and even in the legendary Cortez motorhomes…but today we are discussing this wicked Dodge postal vehicle. Find this 1956 Dodge Fageol Postal Truck sitting on a 1999 Dakota chassis with Mercedes 300D power offered for $15000 starting bid (reserve-not-met) located in Arden, NC on ebay with 6 days to go.
From the seller:
Dodge Other . Condition is Used.
Very rare 1956 Dodge Fageol US Postal Truck. We restored the truck in 2016 and immediately rented it to a liquor ice cream company in Asheville, NC for two summers. Seeing this vehicle throughout the streets was a sensation and a great way to draw customers. The Chassis is from a 1999 Dodge Dakota Pickup Truck. The engine and drivetrain is a 1987 Mercedes Benz 300D (Diesel), automatic transmission. The interior has been remodeled for an ice cream truck with a sink and water tanks. Roll-up rear door. Easy and fun to drive!
A beautiful eye-catching vehicle – perfect for an ice cream truck, beer caterer or as a unique mascot for your business!
If you’re looking for that unique and rare vehicle that WILL and DOES turn heads and stop traffic, this is it. This is a one of a kind show stopper!

I drove for the old Seattle transit we had Fageol Twin buses from the mid to late 1940’s they had a pancake gas 6 cylinder motor they had a on off switch and you could shut if off while driving and pull it back on and you would get a huge backfire i blew the muffler off one day and it gave me more power ! Maybe that’s the secret to the coffee can exhaust on import’s rofl. I started with Seattle Transit in 1974 we had some of the oldest equipment on the west coast. I also ran the Seattle Center Monorail from the 62 Worlds fair as it was under are umbrella later the city took it over so they could pay operators less money and save a dime.
