I just read this and thought it was pretty cool and to think it all started with a Duster
In the late 1960s, Larry Hillblom was a broke student at the University of California, Berkeleys law school, so to pick up a bit of extra cash, he would make courier runs from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Hillblom would often fly packages to LA on the nights last flight then return to the Bay Area with more packages the following morning.
After he finished law school, he decided the courier business was the real racket for him, so he recruited his pals Adrian Dalsey and Robert Lynn to help him with the runs. Although they started out making their delivery trips in a single Plymouth Duster, the company quickly took off, and they named it after their respective last initials.
