1920's Village Post Office (76388 style MOD) - with Ford model AA mail delivery truck

I've been staring at Hogsmeade Village Visit (set 76388) for a while now (ever since pictures leaked!), trying to figure out how to fit it into my vintage city... I think I may have figured out how to do so now with the added rear halves and removed Winter snow parts.

This model's front half was originally from the Honeydukes sweet shop portion of Hogsmeade Village Visit. I added a look-alike back to it, changed the color to red, and turned it into a small post office with inside details on both floors.

I also added a truck I built in real life way back in 2011 - modeled after the official Winter Village Post Office truck from set 10222 - which is now back to being used for a postal truck. (I have determined said truck is styled like a Ford Model AA (wiki link) just based on the front end alone.) 

Yes, the model is missing nine parts not in LDD. This includes four each of parts 48208 and 48205, and one of 35563, all in black for the roof.

Inside features are as such:
- Ground floor has the public area, with pay counter and several boxes / crates waiting to be shipped.
- Upstairs (even though there is no stairs!) is the sorting area with plenty of mail being gone through to be delivered to it's destination.

Everyone may have heard of  the Ford Model T and maybe it's successor, the Model A. But here is something you may not know: The Model T and later Model A both had trucks made from the basic principles of those cars. They were called the Model TT & Model AA, which is where this Lego model comes in, as it's based off a Ford Model AA truck. (or at least that's what I think it it is - the model was originally from set 10222, Winter Village Post Office.)

The rear of the truck has two tail-lights and a license plate.

MODEL NOTES:
The building can only open 90 degrees due to interference from the roof and building footprint.

(The post office will be built shortly after the Polar Express house, and then the heavily-modified 76388 tavern early next year.)

Thoughts?
