Fiat’s 1907 race car was designed to end the French domination of Grand Prix racing once and for all. With its skinny tires, rear-only brakes and a massive 16.25 litre four cylinder engine putting out a spectacular 130 horsepower, the might Fiat took Felice Nazzaro and all of Italy into the winner’s circle and into racing history. Today Italian Race Cars are synonomous with Grand Prix championships; and it all started with Fiat at the turn of the century. Click the buttons below to begin your tour
Mercedes chose the 1934 Paris Auto Show to debut their new flagship – the 5.4 litre supercharged 540K. Along with the 500K introduced two years earlier, this 17 foot long machine bodied by Mercedes in-house Karroserie at Sindelfingen cost over $10,000 when new and, today, they hammer home at over $10,000,000! Beautiful and powerful, the 500 and 540K are in a class of motorcar unto themselves.
Conceived as the coupe version of the Bugatti Type 46, the Type 50 was an impressive Grand Tourer getting an impressive 225 horsepower out of its straight eight engine. Sixty-five of these gorgeous motorcars left Molsheim between 1930 and 1934 and today they are among the most beautiful cars in the world. They were the pride of Jean and Ettore and, today, we are proud to display the most beautiful scale replicas of this amazing car here in the Model Motorcars International Museum of Pochers.

1931. Alfa Romeo. Vittorio Jano. The time, the team and the man combined to create the greatest racing and touring car ever taken to the road. With its magnificent straight 8 up front and the coachwork of the finest corrosier of the day, the 8C is power, beauty and elegance supreme. Launching Italy into the winner’s circle and the careers of Jano and a young mechanic named Enzo Ferrari, these Alfa teams and their incredible 8C2300 are still one of the greatest circuit racing teams and machines in the history of motorsport.
In 1929 Henry Rolls and Charles Royce replaced the venerable Phantom I with the 7.7 litre, six cylinder Phantom II. Many collectors consider this PII to be the most beautiful and impressive Royce in the Phantom line. Whether configured as an open touring car or as a closed coupe, the second Phantom is certainly one of the most beautiful and enduring cars in the line of The Best Motorcars In The World. Here in the International Museum of Pochers we feature some of the most beautiful scale recreations of this magnificent motorcar.
Some of them have multiple engines while others sport body designs that are truly unique. From the mildly modified to the full-on one-of-a-kind, every model in the Customs Gallery is an incredible creation born in the imaginations of very creative and courageous Pocher builders.
Remember… the Museum hours are 24 / 7 and admission is always free.
