For sale is a vintage Tonka pressed steel promotional semi-truck made exclusively for J.C. Penney (Penney’s) in the late 1960s to early 1970s.

This classic toy features:

• A blue cab-over-engine (COE) tractor with clear plastic windows, original “P” Penney’s logo on the door, and metal construction.

• A matching white van-style trailer with the iconic “Penney’s ALWAYS FIRST QUALITY” decal on the side — J.C. Penney’s famous advertising slogan from that era.

• Dual rear wheels on the trailer, black rubber tires with white/cream hubs, and a separable cab/trailer design.

Condition: This is an authentic played-with example showing honest age and use. There is visible paint chipping, surface scratches, rust spots (especially on the blue cab, chassis, and some edges), and the trailer decal is cracked/crazed but still mostly legible. The clear windshield is intact, wheels roll freely, and both pieces are complete. No original box or packaging.

These durable Tonka promotional trucks were sold through J.C. Penney stores and catalogs and are sought after by Tonka collectors and fans of vintage department store advertising toys.

Dimensions (approximate): Cab ~8-9” long; Trailer ~10-11” long when connected.

Great piece of American toy and retail history! Perfect for display, restoration, or as a solid addition to a Tonka collection.
