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.

Didn't the Tucker have a Lyc or Cont engine? ISTR reading years back
that it was powered by a helicopter engine. I assume that means an
air-cooled flat six?
