About the Auto Union Type C #111 H. Stuck Schauinsland Hillclimb Germany 1937 CMC 1:18
TL;DR: This CMC 1:18 diecast reproduces the Auto Union Type C, #111, driven by Hans Stuck at the 1937 Schauinsland hillclimb in Germany's Black Forest region, during the Silver Arrows era of grand prix dominance. With opening features and hand-fitted metal panels, this is a used model whose box shows traces of storage.
Stuck built his reputation as one of the era's finest hillclimb specialists behind the wheel of Auto Union's rear-engined Silver Arrows, and the Type C's mid-engine layout made it one of the most technically radical grand prix cars of the 1930s.
A Radical Layout, Faithfully Built
The Type C's rear-mounted V16 sat behind the driver in a layout most rivals wouldn't adopt for decades, and CMC's hand-assembled metal construction lets that mechanical story show through: the hood sections open to reveal engine detail positioned correctly behind the cockpit, a genuine point of interest on a car whose engineering was so far ahead of its time. The silver bodywork carries the deep, unpainted-metal look period Silver Arrows were known for, and Stuck's racing number is applied with clean registration against that bare-metal finish. Metal construction gives the model real weight, appropriate for a subject built to handle Schauinsland's demanding hillclimb gradients. As a used model, some handling wear around the opening panels is expected; the box shows traces of storage, a condition limited to the carton rather than the model itself.
A Technical Landmark for Serious Collectors
The Auto Union Type C represents one of grand prix racing's genuine engineering leaps, and a detailed replica lets collectors examine that rear-engine layout directly rather than relying on period photographs alone. Paired with other Silver Arrows subjects from Mercedes or Auto Union, this piece anchors a serious pre-war German racing theme, its opening features rewarding exactly the kind of close inspection this technically significant car deserves.
