Bob, thanks for posting this! At about the same time that you received your Structo for Christmas, I received the Structo auto hauler for Christmas. Mine had a green cab and yellow trailer with Cadillacs in green and blue.
Mine is long gone now, but, every so often, I cruise through the Structo listings on Ebay, with thoughts of replicating that wonderful, long-lost toy.

Looks great, Bob ! Yep, we need to reverse that Structo advertising slogan.
Actually, I still have a big Structo firetruck that I got for Christmas in 1955 when I was 2. So, both versions of that slogan are true for me, LOL !

You were a lucky kid to get this rig for Christmas.
The version my older brother got wasn't the auto hauler unfortunately, but I do have a vague recollection of having seen an actual one in the department store and wanting it.
That is an excellent model, especially with the Cadillacs on board!
