This truck is one of the most difficult editions to find in the Hess collection. Commonly known as the “Woodbridge” the decal placement on the 1969 Hess Tanker says “Gasoline” on the passenger’s side & “Fuel Oils” are on the driver’s. A little history on the difference between the early Hess Tankers: 1968 & 1969 trucks had a white base instead of a Red Velvet base found on the 1967’s. The battery cover on the 1968 & 1969 has a round Marx Logo on them. The 1967 did not.
Truck Details:
- Truck measures approximately 13″ in length and complete with mint decals (see pics).
- It has headlights and taillights operated by a switch on the bottom of the tanker, and removable hose.
- The battery compartment is clean (see pic) and all the lights are in working order.
- All the trucks from the 1960’s have square trailer feet and no rivets by the on/off switch
Box Details:
- The 1968 has a picture of the front of the truck on one end with the address on the box that says, “Home Office Perth Amboy, New Jersey”
- This box is a 1969 which shows a picture of the front of the truck on one end with the address on the box under it stating, “Home office Woodbridge, New Jersey” (see pic).
- On the 1968/1969 the end of the box has a picture of the rear of the truck and states under it, “Made in The British Crown Colony of Hong Kong”
- The 1967 states, “Made in USA” on the end of the box.
- Box on all sides is as close to perfect you will find in decades (see pics).
- These are probably one of the hardest pieces in the Hess collection to find in any condition let alone one like this!
