war, there were now a host of small cars to choose from, and the
offered without reserve
powered version of the wood-bodied velocar, the Type H, needed
to be upgraded to enter a much more competitive marketplace.
adaptation took the form of the Type K, the first Mochet to carry a
steel body, and it moved solely on its own power.
The Type K became the “classic” Mochet, the CM-125, which was
successful enough to be produced for five years. Part of its success
came because the owner could take delivery within a period of
weeks, not the many months required by the larger manufacturers to
fill orders. another reason was accessibility: no license was required
to drive a car with 125-cubic centimeter displacement. of course,
the absolute simplicity of maintenance of such a basic vehicle also
played into its appeal.
This example of a late CM-125 Luxe is a totally original, unrestored
barn-find that has remained virtually untouched for nearly six
decades. It is largely complete and sports its original maroon paint,
top bows, and even the hand-operated windshield wiper. It awaits
the gentle touch of a sympathetic restorer or preservationist.
