Real Hess Tanker Truck in Action

I was out in Lancaster PA on a short vacation staying at a little countryside motel and needed to get some gas. The Hess station was right down the street so I figured I would take the short trip and get a cup of coffee while I was there. Upon pulling up to the station to my surprise there it was, a real Hess tanker truck fueling the tanks at the station! I have been collecting Hess trucks for many year and saw a few pictures of these beautiful trucks but never thought that I would see one in person. I asked the driver if it was OK to take pictures of the truck while it was filling the tanks and he was very cordial and answered "feel free to take as many as you want". Well, to my disappointment I had not brought my camera with me never thinking I would have this great opportunity but that was not going to stop me. I went into the Hess station and couldn't believe it, they had instant cameras for sale! I quickly bought one and went outside and clicked away! I have posted a few of these great pictures to share with everyone reading my blog, enjoy!

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:

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!
