Welcome to the world-famous Auto World Store, where we offer one-stop shopping for all your hobby-related products. From automotive die-cast replicas to slot cars and accessories, we have everything an enthusiast could desire.

The story of Auto World begins in the basement of Oscar Koveleski's home in Scranton, Pennsylvania, where he founded the company in 1958. What started as a small mail-order hobby business grew into a renowned enterprise, known for its annual product catalogs that catered to the every need of the adolescent hobbyist.

What sets our products apart? Auto World continues to work with top licensors, ensuring that our offerings are not only authentic but also exclusive. We take pride in providing you with hundreds of diecast vehicles, model kits, slot cars, race sets, and accessories that you won't find anywhere else.

One such exclusive is the 1935 Auburn 851 Speedster, a true masterpiece of automotive design. Joining the Auburn Motor Company in 1934, Gordon Buehrig set out to create a vehicle that would leave a lasting impact. The sweeping lines and the low boattail rear end of the 851 Speedster influenced the design of iconic vehicles such as the 1963-67 Chevy Corvette and the 1971-73 Buick Riviera.

But the 851 Speedster was more than just a pretty face. Its voluptuous good looks were backed by impressive performance, thanks to the supercharged Lycoming eight-cylinder engine producing 150hp. This power, combined with a Columbia dual-ratio rear axle, allowed the 851 Speedster to become the first car to exceed 100mph for 12 hours straight, directly from the factory. Today, it is one of the most collectible American vehicles.

Our 1:18 scale die-cast replica of the 851 Speedster captures the essence of this iconic car. With its detailed engine, steerable front wheels, accurate interior and chassis, and opening doors and hood, this model kit makes an ideal gift for any occasion. Whether you're looking for the perfect present for dad, your favorite uncle, or an avid hobbyist, this collectible is sure to impress.

At Auto World, we take pride in offering products that not only look like the real deal but also deliver on quality and playability. Our models are the best in the collectible business, ensuring that your passion for automotive history is brought to life in your hands.
