1953 Texaco Die-Cast Metal Toy Truck by Mira

This is a 1:18 scale die-cast metal replica of a 1953 Texaco service truck, manufactured by Mira. The toy truck is presented new in its original retail display box. The truck itself is predominantly red, consistent with Texaco branding, and features the distinctive white Texaco star logo on the side of the cab. The hood of the truck is open, revealing some simulated engine detail inside. The wheels appear to be chrome or polished metal with black rubber tires. The truck bed is a flatbed style, and there appears to be some simulated equipment or accessories in the bed, possibly fuel drums or tools, although these details are not perfectly clear through the packaging. The overall construction suggests a high level of detail for a die-cast model, likely featuring opening doors, hood, and possibly a tailgate. The paint finish appears smooth and glossy, with no visible scratches, chips, or wear, indicating its 'new in box' condition. The box itself is silver with red and white stripes and prominent 'TEXACO' and 'MIRA' branding, along with specifications like '1:18' and 'Die Cast Metal'. The front of the box features a large clear plastic window, allowing the item to be viewed without opening the packaging. The box shows no apparent damage or significant shelf wear, further supporting the 'new' condition of the item. This piece would appeal to collectors of automotive memorabilia, Texaco branding, or die-cast model vehicles.
