Guide Review - Two Race Cars in One
Hess, the brand of gas stations with the green and white signs, has released a new collectible toy vehicle every Christmas since 1964 and this year's edition is especially cool. The large, white toy race car has rubbery tires, flashing lights and sound effects, then the hood opens up to reveal a smaller, green toy race car inside.
The smaller toy car also has flashing lights and a pull-back motor that works smoothly and quietly and really makes the car go fast!
