Yesteryear Collection

Texaco is a major force in global production, manufacturing, transportation, research and marketing of petroleum.
But, to most people, the familiar Texaco Star logo means a friendly, filling station in the neighbourhood or on the open road. With a wide array of automotive products and a reputation for friendly service, Texaco is a favourite choice for people on the go.

Texaco is also a proud sponser of many educational, arts and sports programs, including the U.S. Olympic Team, which depends on companies like Yexaco for vital financial support.
The 1955 Chevy 3100 Pickup Truck has been decorated with Texaco and U.S. Olympic Team graphics to commemorate Texaco's support of the U.S. Olympic Team, as well as the new Texaco advertising theme: "A WORLD OF ENERGY."

This model is a unique contribution to the tradition of collectibles bearing the Texaco star. It is also a fine example of the intricate and authentic workmanship that distinguishes editions crafted by Matchbox Collectibles.
