 DESCRIPTION

Of all the great classics, the boat-tailed Auburn 852 Speedster of 1936 is one of the best. Offered for less that $1,000 new, the Auburn is now worth over $100,000. Available with a supercharged straight-eight, the 852 was a true sports car. Hot Wheels produced the only 3-inch version in 1979. It has been re-released in many colors and with white-wall tires.
