The 1975 and 1976 Hess box trailer and barrel truck
      In 1975 a newly designed cab and box trailer replicated from the Hess Co. delivery fleet was introduced.  Molded in
 green plastic with red wheels and bumpers. 14" long. Chrome accessories and one-piece windshield. Operating head
 and tail lights. Sliding doors are on both sides of the box trailer and open and close. The battery compartment is inside disguised as a pallet. Back doors also open. Came with three unmarked miniature oil drums.  Paper decals marked
 "Hess" run around the entire box trailer. Over time many become wrinkled and deteriorated.  Bottom of trailer marked
 "Made in Hong Kong" and "Amerada Hess Corporation"  It came in a white box with silk-screened green, yellow and
 red colors with pictures of the truck and Hess service station. It also came with top and bottom cardboard inserts
 and a battery instruction card
       In 1976 Hess reissued the 1975 box trailer. Although they look similar there were several variations.
1975 had a one-piece molded cab and the 1976 was changed to a two-piece.
The unmarked oil drums of 1975 had Hess labels added in 1976. The color of the 1976 is darker then the 1975.
The 1976 box has the words "Made in Hong Kong" added to the end flap along with a caution marked
"Due to small parts, not recommended for children under three years old".
