1987 Hess 18 Wheeler Bank
(Gold Trim)

 
This year's truck is white and green, very clean looking, with three miniature oil barrels. In addition to the headlights and taillights, this truck comes with clearance and full running lights, chrome doorsteps, horns, exhaust stacks and side view mirrors. The trailer has sliding cargo doors and a coin slot on the top of the trailer for the bank. A red knob opens the rear trailer door to withdraw savings. This year's model started the tradition of the Hess Toy Truck being detailed in white and green. In addition, this particular truck is unique in that it has gold chrome instead of silver on many parts of the truck. You can see this in the close-up of the grille and fuel tank. The gold chrome is a factory defect rather than a 'special' truck.

Original Price: $5.99 with 1,000,000 made each year in Hong Kong. Condition: MIMB
