No one knows the world of replica Auburn Boat tail Speedsters like Michael Akins. To him, the replica Auburn Speedster is more than just another replica car, it has been a life-long passion. Since his early days at Antique Autos of America under the tutelage of David Samuels, Akins has lived and breathed this car. Antique Autos which later in 1977 became Southeastern Replicas was at one time the l

argest distributor for California Custom Coach replica Boat tail Speedsters in the country. They built off of this and later made a few changes and designed their own version of the car which was widely regarded as the best designed replica Speedster ever built. Samuels along with Akins set off to build some of the most realistic replicas ever produced. Not only building their new boat tail Speedster, but also eight Cord and Phaeton replicas. Akins honed his knowledge of the replica business under Samuels in the late 1970’s and into the early 80’s. Fast forward into the 90’s, the replica Auburn Boat tail Speedster business had all but gone the way of the dodo. The only replicas that you could find anymore were either kits that people had purchased years prior and never finished, or used turnkey cars that had seen their fair share of
road use. He set off to create the car again from the ground up, using more modern building techniques to assemble the car; this would not’t be your ‘dads’ replica Speedster. The new Speedster that Akins would create would
set the stage for what would come. In the early part of the 2000’s, Akins finally got to see his dream come to life; a fully modern Auburn boat tail Speedster. The car was complete with a tube chassis, four wheel disc brakes, modern fuel injected engine, spacious all leather interior, and all of this with the look of a mid ‘30s classic. During that same time period, Akins had already been working on a new project of his own, a 1937 810 Cord street rod, named the Coffin Nose Speedster. The Coffin Nose Speedster along with the Classic Boat tail Speedster, should prove to be a great lineup of cars being produced by Speedster Motorcars. ®


Now today, Akins still building the car that he loves. He has brought the car back to basics with the knowledge that he has garnered over these almost 40 years of replica boat tail experience. The car is still one of the finest examples of any replica you can find. These Auburn Speedster kits and replicas that Akins and produce, are by far, the best that have ever been built to date.
