Bring the story of an uncommon early automobile maker into your space. Pungs-Finch built cars in Detroit from 1904, emerging from a business better known for marine engines and boats. The company’s brief motoring chapter included Finch-designed models, a disruptive factory fire, and a return to its marine roots as automobile production ended in 1910. This sign celebrates the distinctive history of a small marque with a lasting place in automotive collecting, including the reported survival of just one Pungs-Finch car.
Pungs-Finch automobiles were built in Detroit, Michigan, from 1904 to 1910 by a company whose factory primarily made marine gas engines and boats. Engineer E. B. Finch had built his first automobile in 1902. William A. Pungs, Finch’s father-in-law, had arranged the purchase of the Sintz Gas Engine Company for the Michigan Yacht and Power Company. Pungs later bought out partner O. J. Mulford, who left and established the Gray Marine Motor Company in 1905. The business took the name Pungs-Finch Auto and Gas Engine Company in 1904, and a car developed by Sintz became the basis for its first model, powered by a 14-horsepower twin-cylinder engine. In 1905, Finch-designed four-cylinder Model D and Model F cars followed. A factory fire that year damaged the marine-engine and boat-building operation and delayed production while the company rebuilt. Finch designed the advanced Finch Limited for 1906, but departed that year after an argument with Pungs and became a Chalmers dealer in Cleveland. Pungs-Finch continued cataloging cars through 1910, though its focus returned to marine engines and boat building. Production of the Model F ended in 1910. A Finch Limited discovered at a factory was restored in the 1950s; it is the only known surviving Pungs-Finch.
