Just recieved three cars from The Bay of E. One is a two tone fully painted Auburn sedan. It's in pretty good shape overall, only some paint loss on the bottom edges. Its made of the old type hard rubber with white rubber tires. Could somebody give me an idea of the era it was made. The Auburn toys I had in the 50's had the softer thinner rubber with just some areas painted with plastic tires.
Yellow car just says Jaguar England on back. No other markingss. Any guess as to who made this one? What year/model Jag is it supposed be?
The red car is made by Lapin. Another one listed on Ebay was called it a Renault Daphine. I looked up Daphines on Wiki, none of them looked roughly like this. Besides the Daphines weren't produced until the mid 50's, this looks older with the split windshield and rear window. I'm not familiar with Lapin either.
I got the Auburn and the Jag along with a Popeye pipe for $20 with shipping. The red Lapin was $9 total. I think it was a decent deal, especially considering their condition.
I would appreciate any info you could give. Thanks for looking in.

That is a very classy Auburn car. Sadly I know nothing about it.
