Dan, our company, Chevy Duty, actually sells used parts to the guy who does
the truck displays for the Old Navy Stores. He only wants the really used
and beat up stuff so that he can get that distressed look. He's a really
nice guy and has sent us a few of the small promo trucks that Old Navy gives
away to employees, etc...

joke! But they were 1/25th the size of the real truck sitting in the middle
of the store! ERTL made a 1/25th diecast model of them as a Christmas
promotion (box states it's an "Adult Collectible"). I bought mine two days
before Christmas at a discounted price -- $12.99 (they were originally
marked at $24.99).

> This is the company's logo -- some of the clothing even has the truck on
it (mostly children's clothing). First time I went to an Old Navy a few
years ago I was shocked to see these classic and hard to find trucks sitting
in the middle of the store. And Eric's right, all Old Navy stores have them
(just think, where did they find that many?). And all of the new stores
will be getting them too...
