1984 Hot Wheels Auburn 852 — White · Whitewall · Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide

Release identity

Whitewall tires identify this 1984 version. White fenders and interior continue the light color scheme, so tire sidewalls provide the clearest separation from the blackwall entry.

Physical details

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 White with Whitewall (WW). Most collector records list Malaysia, while HWC Garage lists Hong Kong. Use the base stamp on the car to identify its origin.

1984 wheel identification note

The Hot Wheels Newsletter and South Texas Diecast list the 1984 white Auburn 852 with whitewalls. HWC Garage labels the wheel type “Black Wall w/ White Wall.” That description does not establish a second production release; inspect the actual sidewall and record what is present.
