Hiway Hauler 1174 – 83mm – 1988

Prototype Hiway Haulers

* Information provided by Kevin Mangrum

Hauler prototype find from the 32nd Annual Convention. This belonged to Larry Wood. The story behind this one goes like this: 24 of these were sent to Mattel for approval on the paint color on the cab. Eventually those 24 would become the Bob’s Big Boy Hauler and both of the “700 Million” HW produced, both of which were only given out to employees. Not sure what happened to the remaining balance of the 24, but one of them is mine!!!
