Lledo Die-cast Chevron Commemorative Model Set / 1934 Ford Model A Truck

            Atlas Tire Truck: This carefully crafted vintage model commemorates part of Chevron's history. In the 1930's Chevron, through Atlas Supply Company, was the first to bring tires and batteries to customers through its gasoline filling stations. 

That is what is written on the back of the box, Made in England By Lledo Exclusively for Chevron.  This model is not numbered and I believe it to be one of the first in the series, the original set was not numbered.  

These little Chevron die-cast cars are made by Lledo of England for the USA market to commemorate Chevron Oil Company and Standard Oil of America. They did a series of collectables you could buy at the gas stations, there are I think 24 in all maybe more, you could buy them for 4 years in different styles. They are pretty good but the detail is lacking some. This is said to be a 1934 Ford Model A truck, which to my knowledge would have been a Model B since the Model A was from 1928 to 1931. Some models do not even have years at all.
