Ddey65 ◊ 2015-09-07 16:00	Honestly, this isn't doing much for me, but for some reason I'm starting to lean towards a '37 Kenworth.

andrepa ◊ 2015-09-07 16:53	looks like the very same '37 Kenworth in your link, Ddey65 ! plus some extra chrome, not only vents, but bumpers grille frame stepboards etc. BTW very flat design of streamline aera, with "giant" in front of it, he can even look up on the roof, try this today -- Last edit: 2015-09-07 16:55:57

He's taller than me, but I once stood above the roof of a truck like this: Link to "commons.wikimedia.org" And this was a C-70, rather than a C-50.

(...) Art Redford purchased one of the buses in 1985. In 2009, Redford and Frank Pupo donated that bus to the Mount Rainier National Park. At the time of its donation, the Covington Reporter interviewed Redford and Pupo who told them that, “the coach is one of only five built by Kenworth between 1937 and 1938. Three still remain active, one in Sitka, Alaska, one in Montana and the one [they owned].” The Kenworth Truck Company of Kirkland, Washington, is said to have built these five Touring Motor Coaches between 1937 and 1938. The Bender Body Company of Cleveland, Ohio, had built a number of similar touring buses on White Model 706 chassis before.
