The 2003 Hess 18 Wheeler Truck and Race Cars introduced their first ‘reverse pull’ friction motors on the two sleek formula-style race cars. The racecars sported working headlights and taillights and have racecar drivers at the wheels of the two matching green racecars. The big free rolling double decker 18 wheeler had running lights, front and rear lights, an internally lit trailer with side windows, vertical rear doors and a pull out ramp on the side. Hess made 1,600,000 of these trucks.
