I hope restoration is going well on that one. I've been a fan of "Deck and a half" coaches since I was 3 years old, and saw a Greyhound (PD4501) roll past the car. Whether it's a KW, Beck, GM, ACF, Foden, Flxible, or whatever else may be out there (Buffalos not included), I've always said that I'll one day own one. KW had a similar coach to the one featured, except it was a conventional. Do you know of any place to find history on that?
Hall Scott made the most powerful truck engines of the time, this one was original gas, and reason why Diesels won out in the end, sure it had more power, but worse MPG too, and during the war time crunch was not a good thing. look up the Pankcake Scott Hall Engine on youtube, or the inline six DOHC.
Kenworth built buses well into the 50's !
Kenworth built busses into the 1950's.
The roof design reappeared in 1976 as the Kenworth Aerodyne.
It will take some Jay Lenno level money to that baby back in shape.
cool bus....love the look...bet it would look great restored and I bet it would be very expensive to restore
Love it! Good luck mates, wish I could help restore her.
The Hall Scott was the 190 HP at 1900 RPM and was 779 CI with a lot of torque had two spark plugs per cylinder to burn a lot of gas and yes 3 or 4 MPG
This bus is still as is in video. . . luckily the wind was kind yesterday, a massive pallet fire just 75 yards away took 10+ hours to extinguish.
Is this still around? If so do you know if it's for sale
This resembles the Greyhound ScenicCruisers.
