PART I

Item 1.    Business

Not applicable.

Item 2.    Properties

MMCA Auto Owner Trust 1995-1 (the "Trust") was formed on November 21, 1995
pursuant to a Trust Agreement (the "Trust Agreement"), dated as of November
21, 1995, between MMCA Auto Receivables Inc., as depositor, and Chemical
Bank Delaware, as owner trustee. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trust
issued asset-backed certificates evidencing an interest in the trust
property (the "Certificates") and a separate certificate evidencing an
interest in the trust property (the "Final Payment Certificate"). The
Certificates were privately placed and the Final Payment Certificate is
held by MMCA Auto Receivables Inc.

Pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of December 1, 1995, between the Trust,
as issuer and Mitsubishi Bank Trust Company of New York, as indenture
trustee, the Trust issued a single class of asset-backed notes (the
"Notes"). The Notes were registered and publicly offered and sold.

The assets of the Trust primarily include a pool of motor vehicle retail
installments sale contracts originated by Mitsubishi Motors Credit of
America, Inc. and secured by new and used vehicles and light- and
medium-duty trucks. The Trust's business activities include acquiring and
holding the assets of the Trust, issuing the Notes, the Certificates and
the Final Payment Certificate and distributing payments on the Notes, the
Certificates and the Final Payment Certificate.

Item 2.    Properties (continued)

The following tables set forth the delinquency experience with respect to
the level payments due each month on the Trust's motor vehicle retail
installment sale contracts but does not include the delinquency experience
with respect to balloon payments due at the end of the term of the Trust's
contracts which provide for such payments. The period of delinquency is
based on the number of days more than 10% of a level payment is
contractually past due, and the delinquency rate as a percentage of the
balance outstanding represents delinquent dollars as a percentage of
dollars outstanding.

   Report on Management's Assertion on Compliance with Minimum Servicing
                         Standards Set Forth in the
          Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers


                      Independent Accountants' Report

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder
Mitsubishi Motors Credit of America, Inc.

We have examined management's assertion that Mitsubishi Motors Credit of
America, Inc. (MMCA) complied with the minimum servicing standards set
forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers (USAP) except for minimum
servicing standards I.4, III.3, III.4, V.2, V.3, and V.4, which are
inapplicable to servicing automobile loans, during the year ended December
31, 1996, included in the accompanying report titled Report of Management.
Management is responsible for MMCA's compliance with those requirements.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about
MMCA's compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly,
included examining, on a test basis, evidence about MMCA's compliance with
those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal
determination on MMCA's compliance with specified requirements.

In our opinion, management's assertion that MMCA complied with the
aforementioned requirements during the year ended December 31, 1996, is
fairly stated, in all material
respects.
