Geeez kirky i reckon what ya got there is
1964 Westcoster 3 wheel postal van :
also know as a mailster
The Mailster
1957-1967
(Photograph courtesy of the Smithsonian National Postal Museum)
The Mailster was a three-wheeled vehicle that weighed 500 pounds, boasted 7.5 hp and allowed each delivery person to haul an unprecedented 500 pounds of mail. Its compact size and maneuverability were ideal for getting around recently developed suburban areas. By the end of the 1950s, one-third of the USPS fleet was comprised of this vehicle. While higher-ups in the postal service were more than enthusiastic about the Mailster's potential, the people actually driving it hated it, according to Nancy Pope of the Smithsonian National Postal Museum. Complaints from letter carriers assigned to Mailsters ranged from the front wheel getting stuck in trolley tracks to constant breakdowns, Pope says, and even one report of a massive dog toppling the vehicle.

Maybe they took out the windscreen and left the back door open to cut down wind resistance. Don't think it would have went any better though.
