As seen in this 1963 Auburn Rubber Company, Inc., Deming, New Mexico catalog:

Note the reverse colors as compared to the U.S. Plastics version:

No mention of Space Patrol, as this series ended years earlier.

The catalog description mentions "a large, colorful display carton". Anyone have one? Or, this version of the gun?

Did it ever go into production?

Brady has or had one in his collection.  He showed it off when he responded to my thread about the Rockatomic.  I had assumed that the Auto Sonic had two color variations.
