Hess Trucks Collector Turns His Truck Collecting Hobby Into A Business

I recently was away on vacation and recieved an email from a gentleman who had read a comment that I left on his post about collecting toy trucks. Come to find out he has a site called "Toy Truck Toys" where he writes reviews on different toys that he finds all over the world. In the email he went on to inform me that he checked out my site to see if I was a real Toy Truck site and was very impressed in what he saw and decided to do an article on me and how my company started. The link for this wonderful article is:

I highly recommend everyone to check out his site and read all of the other articles that he has written as well. Enjoy!

1998 Citgo Die-Cast Tanker


Check out this 1998 Citgo Tanker put out by Equity Marketing of Los Angeles California for the Citgo Oil Company. It has a die-cast cab, chassis and wheel assembly that shows great detail. As you can see in the picture the cab is red but the tanker is the coolest part of the truck with its bright and shiney chrome and a white stripe down the center of the side of the tanker that displays the Citgo logo along with their company slogan. Bright chrome wheels accent the tires on the truck and theperfect detail of the piping system on the bottom of the truck. Nice collectible!
