The Tincher was a brand of automobile produced from 1903–1908 in Chicago, Illinois,[1] and from 1908 to 1909 in South Bend, Indiana.
The car was named after its developer, Thomas Luther Tincher, but built by the Chicago Coach and Carriage Company[2][self-published source] using components and body sections fabricated by the German Krupp steelworks.
[1] The Tincher debuted at the 1903 Chicago Automobile Show, where its air-braking system was the technical wonder of the event.
Tincher had hoped that being near the Studebaker brothers (who were majority stock holders in the venture) would help not only development of cars and custom bodies, but sales as well.
Tincher then moved to Los Angeles where he became West Coast distributor of the Haynes automobile.
