At one time I owned a early Checker Marathon which had been powered with a Continental flathead six and had a Buick V6 when I bought it. But I am pretty sure Lyc did not build any industrial/vehicle engines after WWII. Oliver/Cockshutt, I think, used Continentals along with dozens of cars, light trucks, (Jeep used a Continental flathead at one time), Hobart welders, gen sets, Zambonis-they were very popular and all the ag and forklift vendors still support (most of) them. But to my knowledge Lycoming cars were limited to the Auburn/Cord/Duesenberg family. You are correct they were Continentals in the Checker. |
