Texaco has also become one of the most recognizable brands in the world. One reason for its recognition factor is that the company has always understood the importance of publicity - keeping the company logo in sight as often as possible. Texaco has created a vast array of advertising memorabilia over the past century, which are highly popular among collectors. One favourite form are the signs that were actually found around service stations. From signs advertising the station and the products within...to signs warning against smoking or announcing lead contents, they are so popular among collectors that many are now being reproduced. A vintage sign like the one carried in your 1920 MACK® AC truck was valued up to $500 by an appraiser of Texaco collectibles.
Now, when it comes to delivering vintage freight, there's nothing quite like a Mack® truck. In 1905 - two years after Texaco discovered oil - the Mack Brothers moved their company to Allentown, Pennsylvania, which soon became known as "the truck capital of the world." The phrase was not far from the truth, for MACK® trucks became known around the world for toughness and reliability, quality engineering and design.
Now, a vintage 1920 MACK® AC truck and a classic example of vintage Texaco signage come together in an extraordinary die-cast replica. Precision-engineered, your Texaco 1920 MACK® Truck is meticulously crafted and detailed with authentic Texaco graphics. In the truck bed is a brilliantly painted Texaco Service Station sign - safely packed to make sure its cargo gets to its destination. Your model is produced by - and available only from - Matchbox Collectibles.
