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 18 Wheeler & Racer features a tractor
trailer truck with loading ramp transporting a friction-powered race car, with several
illuminated HESS logos. The race car is cleverly designed, utilizing a watch battery to
operate the car lights. An extremely popular toy - some stations reported selling out within
hours of going on sale. Made in Hong Kong.
Original price $11.99.
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.
