In 1964, the first highly detailed toy tanker, the "B Model Mack Tanker" was sold at Hess gas stations. A high quality plastic toy vehicle bearing the Hess name has been offered almost every year since then. They were made to be exact replicas of vehicles in the Hess fleet until 1987 when the design was changed to include non-fleet vehicles. A new color scheme of green and white was also introduced that year. Each vehicle came in a colorful box and is battery powered for an array of lights, horns and sirens. They were all produced in limited quantities, and because of demand, customers have been limited to two toys. Both young and old are joining the growing number of Hess truck collectors and the demand and value of all Hess gas station items continues to rise.

Hess Toy Truck & Racer, though similar to the 1988 model, features a restyled racer and truck. The friction-powered racer has contiuous rolling action. The truck has 27 white, amber, and red lights enhanced by red wheells and chrome details. Bot car and trailer have "HESS 1991" on the rear license plate. Made in Hong Kong. Original price $10.99.

This truck was only removed from the box to check for damage and to photograph. It is in mint condition in the original box. The battery was removed so that it wouldn't leak in storage. Box is in good condition with some shelf wear.
