The Winther was an automobile manufactured in Winthrop Harbor, Illinois and Kenosha, Wisconsin, USA, by the Winther Motors Sales Corporation between 1920 and 1923.[1] The company had been building trucks and fire appliances since 1917, and decided to broaden its production.[1]
The Model Six-61 was a 5-passenger touring car that was powered by a Herschell-Spillman 11000 six-cylinder engine.[1] The Six-61 had a 120-inch wheelbase, and sold for $2890.[2] "Designed for critic - Built by mechanics" was the advertising slogan for the Model Six-61.[2]
The price for the Six-61 was reduced to $2250 for 1922,[1] but production was discontinued in early 1923 after 336 cars had been built.
