We have often admonished fellow Pocher builders to take photographs of their models, and we have even recommended taking pictures of construction of their models. The images above are a grim reminder that even for Pochers, the world can be uncertain and dangerous. There may come a day when all you have to show for your efforts are a few images safely stored in the Cloud.
This is all that remains of the MMLtd. 8c 2300 Alfa Romeo Spider which was based on the former Briggs Cunningham car in the Collier Collection in Naples, Florida. The model was used in magazine ads, on business cards, and appeared in Scale Auto Enthusiast, the DuPont Registry, and Car Collector Magazine. It also was seen at the second Amelia Island Concours, Meadow Brook Hall, and was featured in a show at the Daytona Beach Museum of Arts and Sciences.
The second image is of our ‘Gentleman’s Express” which was based on the Pocher Torpedo. Among the changes to the model were Sedanca fenders to replace the more formal wings of the Torpedo, complete engine detailing, walnut wood work, leather seats, and, along with every detail part from our catalogue, a splendiferous paint job by David Cox. The model was shown at Amelia Island, Meadow Brook Hall, and several local shows including the Daytona Beach Museum of Arts and Sciences. Like the Alfa, it was featured in magazine articles and advertisements, and was a mainstay on our business cards.
Each model represents thousands of hours of research and construction, and each played an integral role in the development of Model Motorcars. These two models were the only MMLtd. Pochers retained of the sixty models produced. The rest are in private hands.
This is a sad day for Model Motorcars, but these images should be a strong incentive for the rest of us to take pictures of our models while they are looking their best.
Our Alfa and Gentleman’s Express will be missed. RIP.
Sunday, 2/5/23, Marvin had a fire in his workshop/ office.
We expect to be delayed in most of Model Motorcars orders, not Scale Hardware, as that inventory is in a different location.
And, Marvin put out the fire…and is okay.
Thank you for your understanding..
