The Mailster Gets Delivered to the Museum! 

Way to go Merlon! Thanks for saving a little piece of history.

I think the mail lady needs a pith helmet to complete her outfit, good job on the restoration it looks great

There must be some special blood in Merlon’s family…he and his cousin Paul are a couple of giving people, the world needs more of them in it. Thanks to Old School Garage for what they do.

Love it. Preserving history and spreading goodwill. My father is a retired postal worker and also very active in his local historical society. This hits me in the feels.

I am just glad you got that creepy blonde woman out of your shop LOL

Merlin, What a Great donation to the Museum of Lake Havasu Nice that you that they gave you a Great Award and Have a Great Day 👍, God Bless America 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

That is truly awesome for you to give back to the community!!! Nicely done!!!

You really did a great job restoring the little Cushman, I'm sure lots of museum visitors will enjoy seeing it for years to come. There was someone north of me who did an old Cushman into a "zombie survival death machine" that was pretty hilarious to see driving around his town.

Giving back, that’s what it all about!!! Merlin is a great Man!!!

Thank you for all your hard work Merlon and sharing with the rest of us!

Being in the newspaper is cool as hell, and quite the momento! Great job restoring and donating the vehicle!

Now my friend this is awesome you not only restored a cool vehicle but a piece of history and now it will live on for many years to come that’s cool

That was really cool. The mail cart found it's home. Great Job.

Very cool sir Merlin well done at least it will be seen by a lot of people instead of rotting away great save thank you sir

That’s what makes a great American citizen ❤

Great video and story,Merlin. It looks great in the museum. 👍

The magic man does it again. Can’t wait to visit and see in person.

I live on Vancouver Island in B.C.... on my next road trip im going as far as san diego, and since I am planning on driving through lake Havasu, I will definitely stop and check out the museum!

You looked so proud and pleased with yourself handing over the mailster Merlin, and rightly so… what a good job done by all concerned. Bravo, another piece of history saved. Once gone it’s gone forever. Bless you Sir. ❤️🇷🇴

You finally find a job for your spooky quiet friend... A postal worker? 😝😝😝 What an honor to see ones own work in a museum. There is so much in your videos that reach me. I'm a 70 yo 3rd gen mechanic/fabricator with professional mechanics for uncles, cousins, and grandpas. You showing the Young'un how to balance out the carb, and set dwell, was a Kodak Moment with a long gone uncle, down to the way you step back, and let the boy do it. That dwell ohm volt RPM Device was my first electronic automotive diagnostic tool ever. It made me a god among my peers. Thank you for shaking out old school memories

Thank you for creating more the history for your local area museum & donating this beautifully restored mail truck !

Merlin is now in the history books as putting the iconic mail machine & lovely mannequin (& bag) in the town museum. What a piece of work that little machine is & it fits so nicely in the hall where it landed. Merlin spent days prepping the aged fire engine (months ago) preserving that piece of history, and with this act shows again, how much he cares about his community & the unit (that he brought back to life). Such a worthwhile endeavor that will greatly enhance public museum visits in his town.

Great thing to do for the community Merlin.

That is a great piece of history you saved in a time ware our history is being destroyed for ridiculous reasons thanks Merlin

I beg to differ Merlon should of at least put a touch of his genius engineering and added larger tires on air ride. 😊 …..I forgot he should of modified the alternator to weld. After all the mail man or women should be able to fix that air ride suspension to get back to the main Hub.

Great Job Merlin, Congrats on your award gave me chills when they presented it to you. I watch your show every Sunday morning Never miss one if I do I watch it monday lol

That's so cool to donate something like that and to keep it alive.

nicely done Merlin. Perfect place for it.

AWESOME!!! One day I will go to Havasu and check out this museum. I will also hope to meet you, Mr Johnson. You should've been given the key to the city for such a great piece of history you have donated. I salute you!

Such a rad pice of history for this small town I call home now. Can’t wait to go see it…

The little truck turned out great merlin you should be proud well done

Congratulations, I'll definitely drive out to Havasu the in next time I'm in Pheonix and check it out, thanks Merlin for sharing. Stay safe.👍

Very cool. It was interesting to follow the build & the delivery to the museum. A little piece of history preserved. Much respect, thanks for sharing

Just wow it looks great! Merlin simply amazing.👍🏻🔥

Greetings from Torrance! Well done sir! Bringing back a piece of history that everyone can appreciate is just awesome! Thanks again!

After seeing your video I can remember walking from grade school to the library past the post office and seeing these vehicles sitting there in Ohio. Thanks for doing what you did and bringing back a memory from my childhood.

Super solid of you to do all of that work and then donate it!

Wow that is so awesome to get to restore a piece of history what an honor grats Merlin

Thats Awesome Merlin. Saving History. Great Video

Very cool Merlon. Great addition to the museum. Awesome that you could do that for your community. I've spent time at Havasu but got to work on some of the first buildings of another of Robert McCulloch's unique developments called Fountain Hills. ⛲️

Our family has one of these. Its restored but painted in our locsl high school colors and mastcot logos. Father-in-law passed away four months ago. Not sure what we'll do with it now. I should get it started up again this summer and put it back in our annual village parade. In honor of my Father-in-law. Great man, everyone knew him and his Cavmobile. Named for the Coldwater, Ohio Cavaliers.

Sure would like to know more about this mail truck and it's restoration. I had one similar to it, but it was made by the Otis Elevator Company. I got it in the Mid Seventies. The Engine was an Onan CCK-MS1070F, I believe 13 Horse Power. Three on the tree and a South Wind Gasoline Fired Heater/Defroster to keep the cab warm. It would do 35 MPH flat out and I drove it back and forth from Base Housing at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center to my Classes at the main naval station. When I towed it back to Michigan, my Wife used it to get her Motor Cycle License and drove it around until I got transferred to Virginia. Sold it to someone in Michigan and lost track of it after that. It was a fun little project rebuilding the engine and transmission and trying to get the heater to work. I forgot where all the parts came from as Otis just opened up someones parts catalog and picked out something. I believe the Brake Master Cylinder was the Clutch Cylinder of an IHC Scout 80, Transmission internal parts came from a Crosley car of some vintage.

We made it to P-Town for Thanksgiving. Even spent a short bit of time in Havasu. Not gonna lie it was tough leaving. I just had to remind myself what life and temps are like in July and August. 😂🤣 Maybe I can figure out a way to split time between seasons and call myself a snowbird….eh hmmm a winter visitor.

Very Kool, a significant portion of local history, let alone a tidbit of how things were slower/kinder/gentler... Can't imagine trying to navigate today's 5 lanes & cell phone mentality, but certainly looks like fun! Thanx !

Wow Merlin thats so cool buddy. The little buggy came out awesome ive seen the vids and to get a plaque for recogonition well deserved my friend. Major kudos. 👏👏👏👏👍👍✌

When I was in high school, this is what I drove to and from school was one of these mail truck

It wouldn t have handled well with a cummins in it anyway. My brother had a MacCollach saw almost as big as that. Weighed like 60 pounds.

That was very cool! I'm putting the museaum on my list of places to see. Thanks Merlon!

It needs to be in every parade now, right in front of Santa, collecting letters to the North Pole :) What a special moment Merlin. Ty for taking us along

Always a place for the pony express's, replacement, great job.

Very nice couldn’t have been a better place fir that mail car. Looks awesome in the future I’m sure there will be some tearing eyes there when they see this very nice history piece. Thanks for sharing with all of us. Nice Job Merlin

Great video Merlon. You're heart is definitely in the right place.

That’s awesome Merlin!! 🇺🇸😎🇺🇸

Merlin you are my favorite youtuber by far your a legit no b.s dude. P.s how bout them 12valves a true million mile motor.

Very cool act of community. Never been to Havasu, so now I've got a new item on the bucket list.

Congratulations, Merlin! It is awesome of you to donate this piece of history to the local museum. It looks super cool! Peace

It's a really superb and awesome thing you did! ❤️

Well done. It's very good that you did this because once it gone it's gone but because you have stopped that process a little bit of history has been preserved.

Cool. Very cool!

I'm going to Miss Blondie, I like that she hung out in the shop so much, never saw her in the kitchen.

History is worth preserving, thanks for not letting that beauty rot away and sharing it with everyone!

Way to go Merlin!🍻

You did a fantastic job on that thing, and I had never seen one in my life until yours. Thanks for the content!

Great job!!! Amazing

My uncle has one of these and 16 other Cushman's and ton's of spare part's. A lot of it is new old stock.

You the man Merlin! I’ll be sure stop by the museum next time I’m in town.

Great little truck, glad it found a great home, all the best to yous and your loved ones

Awesome job hopefully be seen for next 100 years at least.
