Perkins may not be the most common diesel engine name, yet they exist and those who own them treasure them and look for the most qualified companies when it’s time for Genuine Perkins Diesel Engines for Sale. Perkins setup their company in the United states in 1936. Well known for building over 12000 marine engines during WW11. I know them best as engines for “big rigs”, or the on-highway trucks we see everyday on the highways.
Believe it or not, in 1958 Desoto used Perkins diesel engines in some of their passenger cars. They were mostly used in Taxi cabs made by Plymouth, only a few are known to exist. After World War 11 diesel engines started to be more popular in trucks, earth-moving equipment, and tractors, but few car brands had their own diesel designs.
