        Hess 1988 Hess Toy Truck and Racer This was another year of firsts for the Hess Toy Truck fleet. For the first time ever, the truck was not based on an actual Hess vehicle. This was also the first year the truck was two toys in one. The combo creation features a trailer truck and a GT-styled, friction-powered racing car, marking the first motor used in a Hess toy. In yet another Hess Toy Truck first, the trailer truck and the racer each have license plates bearing the year of issue, making it easier to identify the truck model by year, a tradition still followed today. Finally, the famous "Hess Truck's Back" jingle premiered in this model's television ad.

        We recently purchased an estate of G scale model trains and included was a collection of Hess Trucks. While there is not a particular scale associated with this brand, they are a highly collectible item and if not purchasing to collect, some would actually fit well as scenery items on a model train or slot car layout.

        All HESS trucks we have listed on our site are “New Old Stock” meaning that they include all original packaging and literature, and the item shows no evidence of ever being run or used beyond storage. New Old Stock packaging will usually show signs of shelf storage, but the contents will be in excellent condition. All of our HESS truck boxes have been opened in order to inspect for any corroded battery compartments in both the main vehicles as well as any secondary or accessory vehicles which may be part of the HESS product.

        *Batteries are NOT included with any of our HESS products (to eliminate potential corrosion on shelf).
