HESS 1993 Patrol Car

The 1993 Hess Patrol Car is a highly significant model in the history of the collection because it was the first time Hess released a car (a non-truck/non-ship vehicle) as its main annual holiday toy. Its sleek design and authentic police features demonstrated the Hess Toy Truck line’s successful expansion beyond heavy transport vehicles.

While not a truck, the Patrol Car maintained the high standards of lighting and sound that collectors expected. This release firmly established that the Hess “Toy Truck” tradition could encompass any high-quality, feature-rich vehicle.
