RARE 1988 Hess Semi-Truck and Friction-Powered Race Car Set. This classic collectible from Hess features a detailed semi-truck with the Hess 1988 license plate and a friction-powered race car, both in iconic green and white Hess design. The truck is in excellent condition, with working lights. While the original box is not included, this set has been well preserved and is perfect for collectors or Hess enthusiasts.
This model from 1988 was the first time they combined a friction powered car as an accessory. Also the only time they used a D cell battery to run the truck lights. The other ones they made were from 1991 and 1992 that used different batteries. That is what makes this the rare one!
