Snorkel

==Description==
The Snorkel is a Hot Wheels casting which debuted in the 1971 Heavyweights Series. It is a futuristic cherry picker with a movable bucket which can extend into the air.
It is one of four castings which use the medium sized heavyweights cab, the others being Ambulance, Scooper  and Tow Truck. Once the plastic rear section is removed they are indistinguishable from each other.
The entire plastic section has been accurately reproduced, original ones will have a slight yellow tint to the plastic due to the age while reproductions will be stark white.
It was produced in a variety of Spectraflame colors with Pink being the hardest to find and could be found with either a white or dark brown interior. It was packaged with a plastic 'Collectors Button'.
The Enamel White version is especially prone to to have issues with a metal fatigue called 'Crumbling' where the body or chassis develops cracks and literally crumbles into pieces.
The Snorkel hasn't been seen since 1971.
