Cool Buses

[@maverick9132]

I would redo all three of those buses in a heartbeat

[@sebastianaguinaldo2243]

I want to go there

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

ACF-Brill also made a lot of railroad equipment. ACF was American Car and Foundry and was well-known for building railroad passenger cars. Brill itself was well-known for interurban transit cars that were powered either by electricity or an internal combustion engine. GMC truck and coach pretty much pushed the smaller players such as ACF Brill, KW and Marmon-Herrington out of the coach business because I believe GM would not supply diesel engines to a competitor. Marmon-Herrington did get the contract to repower all of the Scenicruisers with a single 8V71.

[@RustyCrankshaft]

There weren't many of those KW buses built. Something like 30 I think? Seattle still has one. Not sure how many still exist but it's a small number. That is one of the better ones I've seen, very cool.

[@rogerwhiting9310]

I am a big Flxible fan. Went cross country in one back in 63. Great look.

[@alan6832]

Take it to a self serve car wash (tow it I guess) set the wand to spray wax, and spray down all potential rust, corrosion and dry rot of rubber or plastic, especially the underside.

[@mischef18]

Enjoyed this video so thanks for sharing bro. Buses when I was a kid had a front mounted motor beside the driver here in NZ. I remember one we went on a school trip in had a 454 Chev big block V8 engine, sounded awesome.

[@flexhoncho6272]

That Kenworth is exquisite.

[@adhisurya7880]

Nice

[@terrymjinks]

A friend of mine had a Flexible like the one in this video. Had it converted when it was new. Then did the same thing later with a new Buffalo. I was fortunate enough to get to drive both from time to time.

[@michigandon]

I was hoping you'd walk around and show us some of the rest of the collection here...and you did exactly that. Kudos!

[@richardcline1337]

At 2:00, I wish I had the time left as I'd love to own that Baby GM.

[@alexb.1320]

Cool stuff. And right you are, never knew Kenworth made a bus. Cool looking iron.

[@VW5767]

im guessing late 40's KW bus? What a find that is!

[@huskyflylangley6053]

ACF Brill or Flexible? Maybe Kenworth?

[@tomhull3440]

A lot of fun to see all of them thanks for the video. Some one might be able to get some stuff together .

[@oversizestreetrod]

Hey Scott, My wife an’ I own a 1987 Prevost coach. It has developed a problem shifting. The Coach has a silver 92 with a six speed Allison. We have it at a shop to try an’ fix the problem, an’ they have reached out to us in helping to source a wiring diagram surrounding the speed sensor and throttle control sensor…. We would really appreciate help! Thank you...

[@offplanetevent]

You have a bad transducer.

[@gbowne1]

I was looking for tail lights like that the say "STOP" from that first bus :)

[@mikemullay5622]

I noticed that 4104 had Washington plates on the rear.

[@kelleebolden7936]

Thank you for the tour of these awesome rare buses. But ya know....the MCI-8 Americruiser will always be one of my personal favorites, along with the MCI-9 AMERICRUISER II.

[@calvinbarnes1721]

it wouldn't be hard to bend some Plexi to replace that KW's windshield. get it weather tight at least.

[@LimonEllie]

Love the fire truck, I lived in East Fishkill for 15 years!

[@MrChenell33]

Wow, I would love to own one of these vintage babies. Nice.

[@dustermaniac]

The green and white bus has the logo of the round circle with the T. This is I believe a bus from the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.

[@markrigsby2425]

Pure History. love it.

[@remylopez4821]

I love looking at the old buses well all the vehicles in particular they just have so much character that new vehicles lack back in the early 1970s when I was a young kid I traveled from Guadalajara to Mexico city to see a cousin who was in the hospital and I rode by bus it was a sultana 4 axle two deck with a two-stroke Detroit diesel what a beautiful bus that was they never imported those into the US the closest thing would’ve been a scenic cruiser anyways excellent video thank you for anybody who took the time to read this I’m glad to know that I’m not the only guy who likes buses my friends think I’m weird but then again nothing new

[@Allegronaut]

Not to be nitpicky, but it's Kenworth, not Kentworth.

[@nolanduncan7358]

Love to get my hands on one

[@224chingon]

Nice tour my favorite is by far the scenic cruise flexible. Too bad you didnt show us more of it.

[@petewood2350]

I've seen KW busses on YT before in the Grey Hound Livery, not sure where it was, though it was a few years ago.

[@ImpHalla66]

Stacks and stacks of brake liners.

[@garychapin3383]

How long did KW build buses? Thanks for the tour.

[@virtuestreams2616]

Maybe a Hollywood filmmaker might have a need for an original, restored bus from that era-they might throw a few bucks at the project.

[@sethnonya8566]

Small ass gas in a big ass bus

[@esechucote52]

i like them old vehicles all of them including them old buses

[@Wayoutthere]

Someone, PLEASE save that Kenworth :/

[@chrisskelhorn5727]

Scott, have you got any interest in old British buses? I know many are completely different in layout and style to American buses! I'm thinking of AEC, Albion, Crossley, and Bristol! :-) Some of the buses you've just featured look awesome, and to get them back as rolling museum pieces would be brilliant!

[@Fishslayer21]

are any of these for sell

[@zweg1321]

Cool

[@krz8888888]

The rear windows look like sunglasses

[@rosephoenix4634]

Many people would have wanted to bring back a old history dad from the bus that are all different companies that have a name brand or touch you like an RV or harmful or even that go to different destinations that on the G West different states as well but however it is everyone to own Drake staff to buy a trustee of obstacle or the old device it could be that well many of you that you need to save of your little piggy and then went to tear grow then many people died at need to do the homework the Triad added up and then after that it haven't enough right there Then it could be you. Enjoy a road trip for neighbor Northline family cousins or uncles and nephews and even loved ones

[@FixItStupid]

Thank You !

[@rosephoenix4634]

Sometime that the people always collect over for the junkyard but not for scrap of a what are those classic buses because it's still like well classical of a fancy stuff like the first time ever to get it offered a job of a from the past is it is what popular of a bus and to the present that it could be like long lasting working of the jobs forever for over like 3035 volume at 45 years and will be retired and employees love to buy of a well-done classical buses because they're not popular anymore because everything that it is to keep moving forward or buy something the new futuristic of bus always and even well I have to say this to everyone is Southtown data it junk another junkyard but of another collector web be like picking in the garbage and save it and something like for sale or even collectible but sometimes that it will be damaged but it's very difficult to get how to say this all year where the money it is going to be coming from that is the challenge good luck for everyone and good luck for the collectors well you know the rest

[@shreddder999]

2:44 Maybe you're getting old. 3:56 Space-saver spare? 5:33 Looks mostly like a Crown.

[@prevost8686]

Is there a younger generation that’s going to take that place over one day?

[@craigmonteforte6111]

for being stored Outdoors ,OST of those Buses look like they are in decent Shape Considering

[@zink50]

For the people that find this interesting and do not know anything about buses it would be nice if you would at least I say would be nice if you would at least mention the year model the bus is

[@1940limited]

If you Google there some information on Kenworth buses and quite a few pictures. Apparently there are some around that have been restored. I got a lot of hits on Marmon-Herrington, too. I learned some new things about buses! Thanks!

[@user-uv4mg4ve9p]

I love old buses, especially the PD 3751, but the cost of fixing and converting one is way beyond anything I could afford.

[@iBackshift]

i should have known as soon as you said "Hall-Scott" because in early Kenny's they had 6 and V-12 cylinder H-S engines. Here is a pancake H-S engine from a bus. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIrddpyhnqecZ6c

[@brofessormex]

Ive got a 69 ramirez chicken bus from Mexico

[@joebeach7759]

Where are all those cool busses at? I'm thinking about it. Any advice?

[@h.h.legacydiesel6724]

Thanks for sharing 👍. How hard is it to purchase 🤔a bus like the old G.M. or even the museum piece, GREYHOUND YOU looked in? Seriously, looking now for next year. 👀👌🏻👍. ✌🏻🧡🌤 🇨🇦 😎.

[@hobouk3871]

Sweet old buses, heart breaking to see them rust away like that.

[@berettaman7]

Have you ever seen a 1928 Pickwick Nite Coach? Pickwick Motor Coach Works Ltd., 1923-1933; El Segundo, Inglewood & Los Angeles, California.

[@ralphballtrip2214]

I just hope somebody buys them and do not destroy them. That is history. I’ve got a few bucks I could donate Kentucky.

[@brianhaygood183]

I kind of like the little baby GM, but the mid-engine one could take a motorcycle or two in the big trunk. Very cool.

[@jamesbulldogmiller]

Most Interesting!!! I knew the Kenworth right away. !

[@jamesskeen3392]

K W ?🤔

[@tomgluth4254]

Outstanding video tour and commentary !!

[@matthewbrough1800]

Scott where about in Indiana are you from? I'm from the Knox County area and my dad for years worked for I-V Coaches. They ran from Indianapolis to Vincennes and Vincennes to Evansville. Dad was the shop foreman and I remember many many weekends or nights when we would have to go to work with him cause something broke or someone was having issues with their coach. I love watching these videos. Brings back so many memories. I can still smell the grease and diesel fuel covered shop when I watch you work.

[@freeplayfrank7736]

I would have guessed it was a Brill. I knew KW made busses but the one's I saw were different than that.30 years ago ,I knew a guy that had a 56' brill with a hall scott, he bumped up the governor from 48 MPH to 52 MPH and blew the engine. thanks nice tour.

[@calvincrews3885]

Oh yeah that's a MCI or TMC MC8 Crusader Coach they were built between 1973 through 78 only five years in Production and the MCI MC9 was introduced in the same year replacing the MC8 with 7 big windows

[@bill8582]

I'm like you, wish they could restore them, especially the rare ones. Thank you for sharing a little bit of Americana.

[@marshallbaldwin395]

One of the bus that kw made was called a bruck. Half truck half truck some of the crowns and I think ran a pancake 220 Cummins as well as the 671 that is the second or third kw bus that I have seen in the last year I know that they did not make many I believe but not real sure that it was under a hundred Have a good day THE GRUMPY BUS

[@faerieSAALE]

BUS HOARDERS! Nice to see `em, but if they're not reconditioned/restored and on the road - Pft, what good are they?

[@normgundersen5161]

Where is this. I grew up in East Fishkill NY and the one Fire Truck is from there!

[@johngrazier3061]

Is it possible to convert regular air brakes to DOT brakes on a 1948 PDA3751 Silversides bus?

[@BusGreaseMonkey]

Yes

[@gregorskiff]

Have not seen that bodystyle Kenworth bus before, thanks for sharing and would love to see the engine. Kenworth made schoolbuses in the mid 50's and they looked very different than that one. On the right here kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5rHaKCEfstgaaM My uncle bought a few and converted them to homes, he got them from Washington or Oregon. They had red diamond gas engines, international i think. But those days are gone and the buses are scattered now. I remember the floor had to be dropped for headroom in the rear.

[@ZONRICH]

Hello will you look what is this place located at this junkyard I want to buy me a vintage bus my name is Kevin

[@markwitkop7022]

Is that a 4cyl eng in that Marmon-Harrington?

[@432b86ed]

The owner must be one _very_ busy guy if he doesn't have the time to cover up the hole from that missing windshield. He should be reported to the authorities - "vintage tin protective services" or something.

[@dennybrenke2397]

Nice old buses. I Hope you make a lot of new

[@johnbarham7718]

Its only an observation but it would be nice to know the years of operation of the buses. We in the UK don't know any of that.

[@Qrail]

Hello. Please tell me where this is located. I used to own one of those buses. Thank you

[@brian-ly7gl]

Really cool stuff I couldnt stop watching your videos .keep up the great work

[@cabennett63]

👍✌

[@dowen1511]

wasn't that a lycoming in the Harrington ?

[@nozmoking1]

Who else built mainstream transit buses besides GM, MCA, Eagle, Crown and Flxible (not counting schoolies and shuttle buses)? Now I know Kenworth was in the game...

[@jerrybrooks870]

White truck co.

[@ronparrish6666]

Holly Molly bus heaven

[@Edgar-Friendly]

The first bus could benefit from a Cummins 6BT swap. Allison AT wouldn't hurt either.

[@BusGreaseMonkey]

Hey we don’t talk about Cummins on here ;)

[@Edgar-Friendly]

@@BusGreaseMonkey Detroit Series 50.....but too big. At least, the Series 50 and Series 60 Detroits look too big. I love older Detroits, but I do wonder what future regulations are going to do.

[@joeclarke9782]

Thanks for the tour.

[@danielnooner3726]

Where is this? I'm on a bus hunt.

[@paulm.6437]

Like those rear windows in the KW! Also like the wraparound windshields. That’s even better looking than the old Flxibles. I wonder who borrowed from who concerning the rearend, the Crown or the KW? Because it certainly resembles the Crown rearend-only there are 2 doors on the Crown. When I was a boy, Rose City Transit Co. was running the Old Look buses, here in Portland, And we had trolley lines running to nearby towns, and criss -crossing the City, along with electric buses, overhead wires everywhere. US Alderman was the largest bean and berry grower in the NW, and he leased mainly Crown School Buses from McMinville School District. So we rode Crown Buses 38 miles one way, to pick berries, and later pole beans. Some of the Crowns had gasser 501 Cubic inch Internationals, with unsynchronized transmissions, and some of them were late 40s. And some of the Crowns had diesels. The best looking school buses were the class A Crowns . The bean and berry grower’s initials were USA.

[@garychapin3383]

I guessed it was a Mack. lol

[@tracyaynes5230]

I wish you had gone in that flex. I'd love to see them all. Thanks for sharing.

[@Seazer009]

I surely had no idea Kenworth made Buses either. There is a site called Hank's Truck forum. There you will find some good reading on The Kenworth Buses 1920 to 1950...Thanks Scott for the video very interesting indeed. I hope the old Kenworth gets restored one day soon...

[@fillup40]

That is a cool collection.

[@das2419]

Volvo make buses to

[@dustinellis9321]

Are any of these for sale?

[@jamesskeen3392]

WAY COOL

[@ScubaDude68]

Auto caption says the bus holds 25 Filipinos

[@BusGreaseMonkey]

Computers are smart, but not infallible. Clearly that’s not what i said but i think it would actually hold more. ;)

[@ScubaDude68]

Oh I know; that’s what made it funny. Keep growing this channel and you’ll have the 20-30k to throw at that bus in no time!

[@alikemaleryilmaz]

nice video

[@vwbusguy1020]

So cool!!

[@2flyabove]

Thanks Scott for the tour.

[@frequencyfluxfandango8504]

Yes that Kenworth bus has some really cute look to it.. Not even 1 bad angle. All those art deco chrome swirls & those rear windows.. IF I had the $20--30 K dollars, it would be money well spent just to see her on the road again. Fascinating tour as I love old buses.Fire engines, old cars too. 'Kenworth' ? -like the trucks right ? A Real dream machine. Hope she does get Saved !

[@joebeach7759]

I remember that fire truck from when I was a kid! The department still had it when I became a volunteer! I thought it was gone forever!!! Wow. Thanks man. You just brought me back to the 80s in upstate NY!

[@jmax6614]

Thank you for making these videos

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

What the hell?!? I had no idea Kenworth ever made buses! That's insane! And awesome!
