41chevy Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 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. click me Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43597-chessie-cummins-1932-mack-bus/#findComment-320718 Share on other sites More sharing options...
