1937hd45 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Time to move these along, sat in a box on a shelf in the basement for @ 25 years must have eight different years. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Bob, remember when guys use to pay a premium to get them? You could sell your truck at the show for more than you paid for it. Sadly, they are now worth very little. See them on eBay all the time. I have quite a few myself. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 Good times years ago when they were given out for judging, I just kept them in a box, never on display. Hope someone will find an interest in them. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Coyote Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) 1937hd, Can you send me a PM of what they look like? Thanks Edited December 3, 2019 by Laughing Coyote (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 Sure, but is easier to share this photo with everyone. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Coyote Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Are the ones you have all the same style truck with different years or different styles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 I got one every year for judging. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46 woodie Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Sadly, like almost everything, the things that at one time we thought to be a "collectable", just don't mean anything to most people. I see them on E-Bay and see them on some tables at HERSHEY for as little as $10. Give them to the grandkids or neighbors kids and watch the enjoyment they get from playing with them. My wife called them the "dust collectors". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md murray Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Waiting up Sunday night for my father to get home from Hershey with new treasures each year was right up there with Christmas for me as a kid. The unveiling of the annual Hershey Winross was tradition and always pretty exciting (except for that year they were pink..) It would be displayed prominently somewhere for about a week before it would get packed away and relegated to the dark recesses of the attic. What a silly waste of money but boy I couldn't wait to get my hot little hands on it each year-it was a pretty cool little model at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 Great memories md murray, young car memories are the best. Still have the Highway Pioneers Dad built and displayed on the livingroom picture window sill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaflash8 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I've got a bunch on the trophy shelf in the garage, would take $10 for each one. Not in boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A child with a toy truck and a pile of sand will have more fun in 30 minutes than you had in 30 years of storing them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynaflash8 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Do you just want to know how many? I can go out to the garage and count them, but I won't make a list. Best, Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepher Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 The Windross trucks look to be nice quality with decent detail. Too bad I didn't know how cheap they were when my kid was younger. I would have picked up a bunch for playtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
