The name US MULE came from “Li’L Abner” comic strip. The method of delivering the mail was by a mule, called US MULE. Don Noyes enjoyed the name. So, it is also a bastardization of “US Mail” as well. You were right on one count.
Another comic strip name applied to a drag car was “SNOOPY”, a 394 ci Olds in a 32 Chev coupe, painted Cadillac Anniversary Gold. Owned by Frank Hewitt.
