On the sides of the truck there are an IDF vehicle license number and red Stars of David. On the lower part of the truck appear the inscriptions: "Gamda" (Hebrew and English) and "Made in Israel".

The "Gamda" Company, established by Kibbutz Kfar HaNassi, started to manufacture cardboard models of cars in 1958 and in 1961 moved to manufacture metal models. In the middle of the decade, the company closed down for a short while and in 1967 returned to operate under the name "Gamda Koor Export", manufacturing the "Sabra" brand of toy cars which was intended for export.
