2006 Hess NYSE Truck and Collector’s Certificate: The Executive Rarity

The 2006 Hess NYSE Truck and Collector’s Certificate is one of the most historically significant and rarest full-size toys in the collection. It was not sold to the general public and was created specifically to commemorate a major corporate event.

Commemorating the Name Change at the Stock Exchange

In May 2006, Amerada Hess Corporation officially changed its name to Hess Corporation, along with its New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) ticker symbol. To mark this change, Hess produced a limited number of these special edition trucks, distributing them to traders, executives, and select personnel on the trading floor of the NYSE.

Collector’s Certificate: The set included a Collector’s Certificate that was distributed on the NYSE trading floor, verifying its limited-edition status.
Lights and Sounds: Features working lights and sounds consistent with the 1997 model.
Production: Only 3,000 units of this full-size truck were reportedly produced, making it arguably the rarest full-size Hess truck ever released.
