Rare 1950s German A Hohm HD 62 driving school instructional model by Hohm Modelle Co. of Germany from the post was era. This is a cutaway demonstration model constructed from metal and alloy parts, a model chassis, with articulated controls. Has left hand drive steering, lights, transmission, clutch, suspension, rear differential, brakes, rolling wheels with rubber tires with some cutaway sections. Car has a clear plastic 4-cylinder engine casing showing working pistons, valves, and spark plugs. Due to the compact size of the car, some of the controls and switches are mounted on the base. The wiring and electric motor are under the base. The steering wheel turns the front wheels and you can see the steering gear in operation. An initial test of the car slows the headlights, tail lights, license plate lights working. The cutaway of the transmission shows the gears moving and the pistons are going up and down in the motor with a light simulating the firing of the spark plugs. At present the transmission is not shifting into gears as designed preventing the turning of the real wheels. Part of the brake system needs to be reattached that would stop the rear wheels upon applying the brake pedal. In overall great condition, some paint wear on front fenders. A great display piece for the car guy and mostly usable as is. Does not come with any other table. The car and platform measures 15.5” tall, 43” wide and 15” deep.
