Interesting car with an interesting story. Rural mail carriers often outfitted their vehicles to suit their needs for the routes they covered. They were much like independent contractors today. A lot of left over WWI vehicles were given to the post office to use as mail transfer vehicles including motorcycles. Model A Fords have shown up as post office mail delivery vehicles, I’ve never seen a Star as such. Would be great if you find documents to match your car’s story.

I have been searching through google images . seen one in wikepedia , think its a museum picture but dont find another and it looks a little different. I can remember dad telling me how he got it from a old man ( no offense ), in boxes, it was all in parts, with some pictures. The man was termally ill and asked if did would try and get it put together before he past.Dad said he did. I know he said that it was ordered by the post office ( dont know were ) as a mail carrier vehicle . When I was looking thru star cars for sale I seen a steel body 26 star that sold for $22,900 .
This has a state title . does that hurt the value You dont have to answer that

C carl you are my dads age. he just sold off his acrage and moved into town as his health required it. IM about 400 miles from him. I know a man went up from central lower Missouri and got a couple fenders and I dont know what else. I advertised that for him and also a 27 star frame to the man in Missouri

I spoke with dad shortly after you left. I am so glad that it is your old Star. You can definitely add to the History of this Rare Postal Star Truck. I hope you do buy it back. It belongs with you.
