Packaging reference

This carded example documents the release packaging; use the model details and variation notes to identify the loose casting.

Identification details

Metalflake burgundy paint and Real Riders place this Auburn in the Auto Milestones series. The casting still has a metal body and base; the country stamp and wheel type help separate it from regular mainline issues.

What to check on a loose example

Inspect the plastic windshield and fenders for cracks, bends and missing pieces. Compare the tire sidewalls and wheel face to the listed wheel type, then check paint wear around the fender edges, grille and hood. The metal base and its country stamp can help distinguish releases that otherwise share the same body color.

For this version, confirm Metalflake burgundy with Real Riders · whitewall. The cataloged country is Thailand.
