- A three-tiered telescoping ladder with 360 degree rotation, side-mounted ladders and a top-mounted reel hose.
- Working headlights, taillights and emergency lights and chrome accents and piping.
- A quick-release display base.
The 2010 Hess Miniature Fire Truck goes on sale Friday, May 28 at participating Hess and Hess Express retail stores for $6.99 plus tax, while supplies last - Energizer batteries are included.
"Like our holiday trucks, Hess Miniature Trucks have become an annual tradition for a lot of people," said Rick Lawlor, Vice President, Retail Marketing, Hess Corporation. "We love the stories we hear from people who add to a loved one's Miniature Truck collection each year, or give a Miniature Truck as gift to a dad every Father's Day."
