Hello and a question

Back in the early 70's, I happened to see a big load of Pocher kits, on sale at K-Mart for about $25 each!  I knew what they were, and grabbed one each of the models they had in stock, unfortunately the Rolls Royce was not there.  They sold out in less than a day, and I'll bet 90% of them were never finished, because people didn't know what they were getting into.

Yes, I did build all three of mine, the first two way back then, and I stashed the third, and finally built it last year.  Quite a challenge and not for the inexperienced.

I imagine someone at the K-Mart home office made a major mistake, pricing them like that!  Talk about a SCORE...

Wow, just read up on Pocher. I think the old man may have been right! Well I can't afford any of those right now so I guess Pocher will just have to be a wish for another day. I will keep looking for other kits but those Pocher's looked really neat. Thanks for the info.

Pocher, an Italian company, made four beautiful and highly complex multimedia car kits back about 1970.  They were 1/8 scale and mostly made of metal parts, went together with screw, nuts, and bolts, just like a real car.  They were very expensive, several hundreds of $ at the time.  You can see them on eBay occasionally, mostly half started by people who gave up on them.  I wouldn't buy one unless you find one with the factory seal unopened on the inner box.

Glad to have you along for the ride!
