Recommended Posts

Nice in the article they average the price of Diesel Fuel at 6 cents a gallon and said it was probably too high and estimate!!

Chessie Cummins was what then would have been considered "excentric" In 1935 he put his all Aluminum Diesel in an Auburn Convertible Sedan.

That's a cool bus!

Have you read the story about Cummins entering a diesel in the Indy 500?

He raced Indy in 1931 in a Deusenberg bodied race car and took it to run a Brooklands in 1932 and "tour" Europe. Ran at Daytona Beach diesel land speed record in 1930 in a Cummins powered 1925 Packard.

He also has a Cummins powered entry in Indy in 1950 and in 1952 that qualified at the pole position

His Diesel powered REO Streamliner Tractor and Curtis Aercar were hie crowning build IMO.
