Tom Geiger Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) If you have a Speedway gas station near you, stop in and grab the last of the 2015 Christmas trucks. These were last at $19.99 and were reduced to $9.99 clearance. I got three of them at the Hazlet, NJ station. This is a nice 1938 International pickup in 1/25 scale by First Gear. It's curbside, no engine and the hood doesn't open. The doors open and the tailgate operates. It even has tailgate chains. Nice finish, I can't spot any flaws on the one I've opened. It also comes with some interesting accessories. A big ICE chest, a case marked "Speedy Choice", a case of "Shockwave" soda and two water jugs. Nice accessories in scale. Can't beat all this for $9.99! The eBay ghouls have them for around $30.... rare, sold out, etc Edited January 18, 2016 by Tom Geiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne swayze Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Unusual and neat truck for sure ! The "extras" are worth the price on their own ! Are they available anywhere in Canada? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Certainly wish we had some Speedway stores around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 I don't know the service area for Speedway. They are new here in PA/NJ, they took over all the Hess stations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Zipper Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I was able to pick up a couple of these trucks from Speedway , mostly for the goodies in the box , took the case box flipped it up side down because of the way its tapered , sanded the top off made the lid from .040 Evergreen stock then added a set of handles from the WW II Jeep to make a cooler out of it Then fab'd a water cooler from Evergreen stock for the water jugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
