Corgi Toys 1152 Mack ESSO Tanker Truck

The Corgi Toys 1152 Mack ESSO Tanker Truck is an impressive model from Corgi's legendary range of heavy commercial vehicles, produced between 1971 and 1975. This scale model is based on the robust American Mack R-series truck, equipped with an ESSO fuel tank, and was considered a true highlight of the toy range in those days.

The Mack R-series was a familiar sight in the world of haulage and tanker services. These trucks were known for their durability, strength, and versatility. Combined with the iconic ESSO branding, a brand name synonymous with fuel distribution worldwide in the 1970s, this model became a popular and recognizable addition to toy collections of the time.

Corgi Toys released this model as part of their "Heavy Haulage" line, and it was intended to be both a robust toy and a faithful miniature representation of the trucks on the highways.

This particular example is in played-with but complete condition. There are visible signs of wear to the paint and printing, typical of models that were actually used as toys. Nevertheless, all parts are present and functional, making the model still attractive to collectors who value completeness and authenticity.

A characteristic model from the Corgi Toys era of the 1970s, evoking both nostalgia and collector value. Ideal for enthusiasts of classic tankers, Mack trucks, or petroleum and ESSO history in miniature.
