An old Ertl Otasco five-and-dime store 18 wheeler. Never been out of the box. The Ertl Truck and Trailer cost $13.97 when new.
For those who may not know, Otasco was a general store like Woolworths or Sears or Montgomery Wards or TG&Y. Kinda like a neighborhood Wal-Mart. Gilligan from Retrospace should like this, he’s got a thing for truckers, er, um, trucks.

That is so cool. I always loved playing with toy trucks when I was growing up.

It reminds me when I was a child and played with my old truck toys! Things these days are not as they used to be!

This is looking nice. I have this type of semi truck toy in my home showcase. I like to collect different auto toys because I like to see the toys specially auto toys.
