  • Who knows what a Tincher is?

    Very Studebaker related BTW!
    No deceptive flags to prove I'm patriotic - no biblical BS to impress - just ME and Studebakers - as it should be.

      One of those pre-1910 models from Dick Quinn's high school days!

        Seems to me like it was a High End automobile in the early days of the industry on the level of Deusenberg. Did Studebaker make bodies for them?

          Leave it to the Georgia folks ! Good to hear from Matthew again as well.
          Bob K., is it another one of those models you got the opportunity to take for a spin in your younger days?

            I believe Studebaker bought out Tincher in the late teens as a way of expanding into the prestige market.

                  Wow; Those prices would scare any CASO away. $7,500 for a engine, tranny, rear end and frame with steering. I thought in 57 when my father bought a Olds 98 Starfire Coup for $5,500 he got screwed.

                    Thanks for posting about the Tincher, I'm a old guy who is still learning more everyday about my favorite car company.

                    Can safely say I never heard of a Tincher before tonight. Thanks

                      I thought it was a tool for applying tension.

                            See the Asa Hall, Dick Langworth book The Studebaker Century page 47. Yes Matthew my parents bought me a Tincher touring for my high school graduation in '08. They were very generous but I had asked for a Pierce Great Arrow.

                              Hi

                              That six cylinder roadster engine was 707 cu. in.! Bet that was a really road-burner! The four cylinder model was only a 471 cu. in. engine, hardly worth the price!
