Mail Call from Rick in Missouri!
Collection Details
Just got a great collection in the mail from Rick in Missouri! 18 cars total with some really fun pieces in the mix.
Two that really stand out are a light green Bye Focal and a yellow Sugar Caddy.
The Bye Focal was released in 1971 and designed by Harry Bradley. It’s a play on the Ford Pinto, with a chopped, sporty look and signature exposed engine detail that gave it that unique Hot Wheels flair. The light green color really pops on this casting and makes it a standout in any lineup.
The Sugar Caddy, also from 1971, was part of the whimsical era of Hot Wheels design, also influenced by Harry Bradley’s creativity. It features a playful, exaggerated candy-themed body style with bold curves and bright colors. The yellow version is especially eye-catching and fits perfectly with the fun, imaginative vibe of early ’70s Redlines.
Always exciting to add pieces like these to the collection. Big thanks to Rick in Missouri for the awesome Mail Call!
