From the 1990s onwards Märklin reissued the tin automobiles of the interwar years as limited replicas, thereby continuing its own tradition of the construction kit automobile. The streamlined saloon appeared in 1997 under article number 19031 in 1:16 scale and was given the markings of the historic prototype down to the number plate. The streamlined body concept was the latest thing in German automobile construction around 1935 and is a collecting subject in its own right today; the replicas are sought after by tin toy and automobile collectors alike.
