For well over a century, COCA-COLA has always been associated with good times and holiday get togethers. COCA-COLA holiday advertising has always been created in a festive spirit. And COCA-COLA collectibles have had special appeal among collectors. Now, in this cherished tradition, Matchbox Collectibles has crafted a flatbed truck that transports the COCA-COLA Santa, a rich assortment of brightly wrapped presents, a vintage vending machine, plenty of cases of COCA-COLA and a truckload of Christmas trees...on their way from the tree farm!
Based on the Santa, created for The Coca-Cola Company by the famed illustrator Haddon Sundblom, Santa and the many gifts that surround him are portrayed in the beauty of fine sculpture. Each intricate detail comes to life with masterful hand painting. The dozen Christmas trees behind Santa...and the wreath on the front grille...are frosted with white. The wreath bears a big red bow. And it decorates the precision-engineered replica of a Peterbilt cab, crafted with horns and lights on the roof, towering exhaust pipes and air intake canister and the Peterbilt emblem. The cab also bears the COCA-COLA script trademark and a bottle of COKE on one side and a nostalgic 1951 Cavalier C102 vending machine on the other side of the sleeping compartment.
The magnificent cab pulls a flatbed trailer crafted with simulated wood panels. On each side is a sign that proudly pronounces that this truck comes to you from the Christmas Tree Farm. The flatbed trailer lifts off the cab and can be "parked" by itself on retractable legs.
The COCA-COLA Holiday Treasures 18 Wheeler is a unique collectible, destined to become a prized family heirloom. Officially authorized by The Coca-Cola Company, it is produced by - and available only from - Matchbox Collectibles.
