This is a messenger service panel truck (Ford). In the 50's New Jersey Bell Telephone decided to paint all vehicles orange and green. The thought was for better visability. All new vehicles came this way and older vehicles that were not up for retirement went to body shops for paint jobs, When the project was about 90% complete AT&T said we didn't say you can do that, so they went back to the body shop and were repainted green. Plenty of body shop owners became millioaires!
