The plaque has a metal label engraved with the UPS logo, "United Parcel Service" underneath which is " Customer Appreciation Night 1991" on three lines.

These vans were built on a GMC chassis and running gear with the body being specially built by the firm Grumman (also known for their aircraft) to meet UPS specifications.

The interior consists of a single driver's seat and steering wheel in black plastic. All glazing is clear plastic.
All wheels are black rubber with black commercial 6-spoke hubs.
The base plate is black plastic with no detail or manufacturer's marks. It carries a silver label marked "Made Exclusively for UPS" and attaches the model to the plaque by two screws.
