This truck breaks the tradition. It sports a clean white color scheme reminiscent of the Company's stores. The vehicle is an 18-Wheel Tractor Trailer with three miniature Hess-labeled oil barrels. In addition to the headlights and taillights, the truck comes with clearance and running lights. The trailer has side sliding cargo doors and a coin slot on top. The fuel tanks on each side of the cab have the diamond plate look. The rear trailer door opens with a red knob to withdraw savings. The battery compartment is clean and all the lights are in working order. The box is also mint with bright graphics and complete with both top & bottom inserts along with the 3 barrels still in plastic. This is the Hong Kong version of this year.
The truck measures approximately 14" in length.
Now,
About this one:
I do not have the 3 barrels that came with it :(
I do not have the original box, although this one is in a box: the box for the 1997 truck. It shows a different model truck & 2 separate race cars. I don't have those either. :(
The truck is in pristine condition, except for normal plastic yellowing. The doors work. Not sure if the motor or lights work as I do not have a battery for it (It uses a "D" size I think).
This is a beautiful truck. I took a picture of the manufacturers imprint: this one was made in 1987 in Hong Kong. Wish it were China, but it is still a great truck.
Got a driver in the family? Or a retired driver? Remember the Hess stores? Got a little one who wants to drive the big trucks? This would be perfect for any of them :)!
Now, about shipping.
