Buddy L Oil Truck *SOLD*

Description

It is our pleasure to offer the legendary Buddy L Oil truck that is the same model featured on Volume II of the Buddy L books.  Our toy is in original condition and an exceptional find.

Paintwork shows signs of age with spotting throughout and chips.  However the red rims and rubber tires are in very good to excellent condition.  The spout is intact on the aft of the tank, something often missing.  The stickers are also in great condition and original.

This is the Junior or Buddy L Jr. line of toy which is very challenging to find.  It has both doors intact and working, again, something that is often lost.
