Texaco Planes and Trucks

For several years now, the annual "Wings of Texaco" Airplane has been our single best selling item. During the early years of aviation, Texaco owned many different airplanes for transporting company officials, engineers, and sometimes vital supplies and equipment. This year's plane is a Grumman G-21-A Amphibian. This will be the 16th plane in the series and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and Display Stand.






Perhaps the longest running series of collectible trucks is the Texaco trucks series. This year the series will mark 25 years with a 1947 Dodge Canopy Truck. Some of the earlier trucks are very sought after now and assembling a complete set it one of the more challenging tasks for a diecast collector today.

This set is made by Lionel with the Caterpillar name marketed by Norscot. If you don't have an order in place for these, you really should do so very soon as HALF are already SOLD!
