Considered one of the most popular models,
this year's truck is finely detailed and features a helicopter with
flashing lights, a front-mounted search light, a rotating main rotor
blade and a rear spinning rotor. A sliding ramp to off-load the
helicopter is neatly installed in the truck's trailer. In this model
"HESS 1995" is displayed underneath the helicopter and on the license
plate of the truck. A record 600,000 trucks were sold in the first three
days of sales.
Unique to this particular model, the entire surface of the truck and
helicopter is chrome. This truck was supposedly made for a select group
of people that were working on a project for Hess, but I don't know this
to be true. Of all of the trucks, far fewer were made of these and they
are most rare. A green velvet base comes with this truck. I've also seen
this truck on a traditional cardboard base, with a silver wrapping
paper. The particular truck I saw was a personal gift from Leon Hess, so
I suspect a chrome 1995 truck on a cardboard base is most rare. These
trucks often have problems with the quality of the chrome, with
scratches or other defects. The number produced is up for debate. My
truck used to be owned by the designer of the original Hess trucks.
