        Hess 1985 First Hess Truck Bank A classic with a twist, the First Hess Truck Bank took 1982's replica of company founder Leon Hess's original 1933 fuel oil delivery truck, and added a bank feature. It's the same truck, but with added dividends, thanks to the coin slot at the top of the truck's tank. Kids could turn the fill cap beside the slot to open the center compartment and access their coins. For the first time since 1966, this year's box art placed the featured truck in a contextual wintry setting for a full panel, a tradition which would continue for the next 20 years.

        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).
