The Cummins C-Series Gilligs became a leader in the rear-engine diesel bus market, not only for California, but all throughout the west coast. They set the industry standard for rear-engined buses, and set a standard for Gillig as well. The Cummins C-Series engines were inline sixes with varying horsepower, and displacement. The most popular C-Series engine in a Gillig was the Cummins C-180. The C-Series Gilligs were produced from the 1960's until the early 1970s, when the CAT and the Detroit Diesel engines became preferred over the C-Series. |
