Fouch (United States) - AllCarIndex

Fouch was an automobile brand that operated briefly in the early 20th century, specifically from 1914 to 1915. Founded by James R. Fouch in Los Angeles, California, the brand focused on producing a light car that was available exclusively in roadster form.

The Fouch vehicle featured a four-cylinder engine paired with a three-speed gearbox and utilized shaft drive technology. It was priced at $495, which was a competitive rate for the time. Despite the appealing design and specifications of the Fouch car, James R. Fouch did not establish a formal company to mass-produce the vehicle, limiting its availability and impact in the automotive market.

After the Fouch, James R. Fouch shifted his focus to a different type of vehicle, designing the Bulkely-Rider road tractor. This new vehicle was significantly larger and more powerful, equipped with a 90-horsepower engine and a final drive ratio of 96:1 in its lowest gear, showcasing Fouch's versatility as a designer in the automotive field.
