1982-1983 First Hess Truck USED (2)

A classic in more ways than one, the "First Hess Truck" ranks among the most finely detailed toy trucks in the series. It is based on the second­hand six-wheeled Chevy fuel delivery truck that company founder Leon Hess drove when he started the company in 1933, so it is, quite literally, the first Hess truck. This eleven-inch toy is painted in the original Hess quartet of colors and filled with marvelous features - opening doors that reveal the cab interior, working lights, rubber foot treads at the door, and a rubber oil-delivery hose that spools and unspools. Mr. Leon Hess's original 1933 Chevy is now proudly displayed at the Hess corporate office in Houston, Texas.
