After reading an article in a trade journal claiming the diesel engine would never be successful on the road, Clessie Cummins, founder of Cummins Engine Co., decided to take that statement as a challenge. In a used Packard limousine with a Cummins engine swap, Clessie and his chief engineer departed Indianapolis for the 1930 Automobile Show in New York City.
