1936 Kenworth W-1 Bus

The Kenworth W-1 is the next model after the 1935 Kenworth KHO-33.

The Kenworth W-1 body was built by Pacific Car and Foundry Company, later PACCAR Corporation.

Power for them was provided by Hall-Scott Model 190 779 c.i. gasoline engines that produced 240 h.p. and consumed fuel at the the rate of about four mpg. The rear-mounted horizontal engine and the compartments for luggage are located below the floor of the elevated rear passenger compartment.

There is only one known surviving Kenworth W-1, which was salvaged from a field in western Washington after sitting unused for many years. It was cleaned by the buyer and later sold to a bus line owner and collector in the Midwest and is now awaiting restoration.
