I just came across this rather attractive and interesting sheet and went looking for the Postal Vehicles Topical/Thematic. But when I got there, the cupboard was bare !! 26th May 2013 Imperforate sheet only available at the Multi-National Stamp Exhibition in Tel Aviv. Showing various forms of mail delivery in Palestine & Israel. Nice design in my opinion.

The USPS is in the process of replacing their older postal vehicles with a new model. This would be worthy of a stamp.

Two mail coaches were shown in this issue from 1973. These coaches did not only transport mail, but formed the backbone of the public transportation system in the northern rural parts of Sweden.

Heirs of the old postal coaches
The yellow Swiss postal buses ("Post auto" for them) are the most popular public transport in Switzerland and a typical (not always welcomed!) feature of Helvetic roads.

An often overlooked collectible philatelic medium are the Post Office Bulletins like this shown here. Especially if they have stamps attached which make them more attractive. This one shows the various means of transportation employed to bring the mail to a post office near you. close-up of the vignette stamps.
