The
1975 Hess box trailer truck was the eleventh Hess toy truck in what became an American tradition. Find info, pictures and Hess toy trucks for sale on a daily basis here. What makes this truck so unique was the new design or box trailer shape. This was the first of the Hess box trailer series. And one of the neat new features was the three miniature sized oil barrels, which are removable. Oddly these oil barrels are not marked, for some real Hess decided not to label them, which would have been a great touch similar to the red funnel that bears the
Hess logo decal from the very first
1964 Hess toy truck.
This toy truck was made in Hong Kong and originally sold for $1.99 at participating stations. There were 500,000 of these produced and this toy featured working headlights and taillights that could be switched on and off from the switch located underneath the trailer. One of the other great features of the 1975 Hess truck was the working sliding doors found on each side and the rear doors would open and close. This Hess tanker trailer is painted in original Hess company colors of dark green, white and yellow with bright red accents. The bottom of the trailer bed is colored in solid yellow.
