some rudder trivia
Its hard to make out from the lower res pic from the CL ad, but I'm willing to wager that it says 'Alpina" and not 'Momo'. Script just looks a bit too long, but blurs out when I zoom in on pic. But I may be wrong....a good pic or go see will truly tell...
Original 'Alpina" Momo wheels were 350mm, then 380s came out. Alpina was stamped on the 6 o'clock spoke, 350s had Alpina stamp after top hole, 380s after the second. This later 380 appears to have a slight dish to it also.
Yes the iconic Prototipos are still made today and can be had for a couple hundred bucks. I have also seen re-pops of three spokers with an Alpina stamp out there too.
However, the real deal, original, period correct, flat (no dish) MOMOs (mid 60s/earliest 70s) had the MOMO logo 'stacked' like blocks (MO over MO) on the back side of the 6oclock spoke. These 'stacked' MOMOs command the highest prices due to their rarity and demand from the P & F-car folks...finding a period 'stacked' MOMO is challenging and or pricey. I have seen listings for older (late 70/80s) MOMO Prototipos but the logo is stamped on the front...not the same.
Finding an authentic vintage 'stacked' MOMO stamped 'Alpina'= true unicorn/hens tooth....
hth!
