Auburn 851 Boattail Speedster 1935 ERTL 1:18
The ERTL Auburn 851 Boattail Speedster is a diecast metal model. The Proportion and Scale Deviation of this model are too big, resulting in a model that looks noticeably "stretched" and oversized for its 1:18 classification. Details like true to original chromed window frames and all the small parts contribute to an authentic display model.
