Thank you for writing this article. I had a similar experience growing up, every year my Grandfather would get me the new Hess truck for that year. Now that I am a father I do the same for my son. You are right about the commercialism, but it is a simple tradition that a father and son can share for a time. I think there is still a purity in that. I hope you can share this tradition with your children some day, Mr. Hudson. God bless you.

Exact same experience here. Going to get my son his first this Christmas.
It would be interesting to price the truck in gold, are all the commercials in one place?
The official Hess youtube channel as them
What’s weird is that there’s still a Hess Truck, but no Hess gas station to deliver it to anymore. Like a ship without a port
