After entering into the successful manufacture of automobiles , it became part of the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Company in the late 1920s. The most spectacular cars what were the supercharged Speedster models that appeared in the early to mid 1930s. Most if not all of the later Auburns are now considered true classics by the collecting community. Models have been made by Hot Wheels and Rhino. The Hot Wheels 852 Speedster is a very nice realistic model.

If anybody can tell for sure, please let me know!

As far as I can determine it does look like the real Mccoy! But some copies made later were very good replicas!

The Rhino... uh, at least they didn't copy the Hot Wheels casting. Then again, I'm not sure they were copying the real car either...
