+ | ==Description== |
− | + | The '''Bye-Focal''' is a Hot Wheels casting designed by Larry Wood which debuted in the [[List of 1971 Hot Wheels|1971 Hot Wheels]] range of vehicles. It is based on a [['70 Dodge Challenger]] with some serious vision. Featuring two Injected V-8's under glass on an elongated front clip, and a stubby shortened rear end. The '''Bye Focal''' is a fairly hard to find and desirable casting overall. |

− | Decals featuring a pair of glasses with "Bye-Focal" written on it are factory-applied on the driver's side, with an extra optional sticker to be applied by the user |
+ | All '''Bye-Focals '''were manufactured in Hong Kong and featured blue-tint glass and 'Capped' Redline wheels. Mostly produced with a clear blue hood, some can be found with a clear hood. Some can be found with a hard to find variation where the injectors on the engine are missing. Decals featuring a pair of glasses with "Bye-Focal" written on it are factory-applied on the driver's side, with an extra optional sticker to be applied by the user, also included in the package was a plastic 'collectors button'. |
+ | It was painted in various [[Spectraflame ]] colors, of which Purple is the hardest to find and is regarded as one of the rarest of all Redline Hot Wheels from the Spectraflame Era (1968-1972). Due to shade differences in the Spectraflame painting process, the existence of a Spectraflame Olive version receives skepticism by collectors and is generally believed to be merely a regular Spectraflame Yellow which has 'Toned' (dulling of the metal) rather than a completely separate color. |
||
− | == '''"Crumbler" Variations''' == |
||
− | What happened is that when the car's chassis was |
||
− | made, the metal slag did not mix together properly, and had too many impurities in the mix. After the chassis was stamped onto the body, and it cooled and hardened, the metal did not want to stretch. It developed stress cracks all over the entire chassis, some deep enough to cause significant chasms that actually caused the entire chassis to crumble into pieces. Hardly any ever survived a child's play in 1971 due to their weakened structure, and got thrown away by parents. |
||
+ | The '''Bye-Focal''' is known to have issues with a metal fatigue called '[[Crumbler|Crumbling]]' where the body or chassis develops cracks and literally crumbles into pieces. |
||
− | Any surviving crumblers that are still intact in the present day usually end up getting torn apart by restoration collectors, thusly erasing their history. Few crumblers exist today, and they are tough to find for those that collect these specific examples. Both because of the crumbling problem and the scarcity of the car in general, mint intact versions of this car are tough to find. |
||
+ | In 1973, the '''Bye Focal''' was released without the clear hood and renamed the [[Show-Off]]. |
||
⚫ | |||
+ | In 2003, the '''Bye-Focal''' was re-tooled for the [[HotWheelsCollectors.com Series 2#Super Chromes|HotWheelsCollectors.com Series 2 Super Chromes]]. |

Description
The Bye-Focal is a Hot Wheels casting designed by Larry Wood which debuted in the 1971 Hot Wheels range of vehicles. It is based on a '70 Dodge Challenger with some serious vision. Featuring two Injected V-8's under glass on an elongated front clip, and a stubby shortened rear end. The Bye Focal is a fairly hard to find and desirable casting overall.
All Bye-Focals were manufactured in Hong Kong and featured blue-tint glass and 'Capped' Redline wheels. Mostly produced with a clear blue hood, some can be found with a clear hood. Some can be found with a hard to find variation where the injectors on the engine are missing. Decals featuring a pair of glasses with "Bye-Focal" written on it are factory-applied on the driver's side, with an extra optional sticker to be applied by the user, also included in the package was a plastic 'collectors button'.
It was painted in various Spectraflame colors, of which Purple is the hardest to find and is regarded as one of the rarest of all Redline Hot Wheels from the Spectraflame Era (1968-1972). Due to shade differences in the Spectraflame painting process, the existence of a Spectraflame Olive version receives skepticism by collectors and is generally believed to be merely a regular Spectraflame Yellow which has 'Toned' (dulling of the metal) rather than a completely separate color.
The Bye-Focal is known to have issues with a metal fatigue called 'Crumbling' where the body or chassis develops cracks and literally crumbles into pieces.
In 1973, the Bye Focal was released without the clear hood and renamed the Show-Off.
In 2003, the Bye-Focal was re-tooled for the HotWheelsCollectors.com Series 2 Super Chromes.
