Another year, another crappy Hess truck. Man i remember when these things were cool. They were real collectors items. now it just something you would pick up at the dollar store. Plus anyone remember when they were actually gas trucks?

HESS TOY TRUCK

By Leon Carlson of Mister Find IT

Question: What do ball games, toys and oil have in common? Answer: Leon Hess the oil man that created their concept, was at a ball game when he met the toy maker that sat behind him. Leon talked to the toy maker about making the Hess Toy Truck as a thank you gift to his loyal customers, that was the start of the Hess Toy Truck in the early 60's.

hess trucks are still very very collectable. saw one on ebay go for over $1,000 dollars. not sure of what year it was, but still alot of cash for a toy truck.

Only the early ones will hold that value (to someone willing to pay the $$$). Chances are the $1,000 one was a late '60's model with a the box lined in red velvet.

The Old Texaco Toy Trucks that used to be issued every Christmas are now considered to be really great collectibles, since they are no longer produced annually.
