Five Types of Hess Toy Trucks

For almost sixty years, the Hess Corporation has created top-quality toys of their vehicles.

It doesn’t seem likely that toy vehicles used to promote an oil company would be a thing, but it is—and has been for sixty years. 

I should know: I loved Hess toy trucks as a kid. Every time we passed a Hess gas station, it seemed, I’d beg my parents to buy me a toy truck. I remember seeing the TV commercials, the photos in Sears catalogs, and something about these toys made me want them.

Knowing they’re still around today almost makes me want one again!
