Ole truckers think alike... I have that ornament actually two of 
them...They are Hallmark Ornaments and still available on the display 
at most card and party stores.  I couldn't resist picking one up when 
buying an ornament for the wife( I get her one every year ) then 
found out she had already bought one for me!... Turns out everyone 
wanted to get on the bandwagon as both brothers found other ones, a 
forest green one same size but no tree in back and not an ornament, a 
custom blue with flames, and an oxide red primed one somehow also got 
delivered to the house and I now find two miniatures resting on the 
piano and two AMT/ertl 1/25 scale models - One assembled and 
one not. I also have one same size as the ornament but in a plastic 
display case! Wheeeeew! now if I could only apply a drop of magic 
potion to make them grow to real life size I'd be rich!

Happy Holidays all you oletruckers!
