Vehicle Background

The Kenworth W900 gained legendary status after its appearance in the 1977 film Smokey and the Bandit, one of the most iconic trucking movies of all time. Driven by Jerry Reed’s character, Cledus “Snowman” Snow, the Kenworth played a central role in the story, hauling the trailer while Burt Reynolds’ Bandit created diversions for the police. Its distinctive look and rugged performance turned the truck into a star in its own right, admired by both trucking enthusiasts and film fans.

The truck featured in the film was a Kenworth W900A, a model celebrated for its durability, long-haul comfort, and unmistakable styling. With its long bonnet, tall exhaust stacks, and commanding grille, the W900A became an instantly recognisable symbol of American trucking culture. The model was already popular among drivers in the 1970s, but its screen presence gave it a new level of fame, cementing its place in pop culture.

Under the bonnet, the Kenworth W900A typically came equipped with powerful diesel engines designed for heavy loads and long distances. Built with strength in mind, it offered drivers reliability on cross-country hauls, which made it the perfect choice for the film’s storyline. The interior was designed with comfort in mind for professional drivers, offering a sleeper cab option that allowed for rest during extended journeys.

In Smokey and the Bandit, the Kenworth W900A was paired with a trailer carrying a shipment of Coors beer, an integral part of the plot. The sight of the truck charging down highways, pursued by law enforcement, left a lasting impression on audiences. Its role went beyond simple transportation; the Kenworth embodied the rebellious, free-spirited nature of the film, representing independence on the open road.

The film’s success led to a surge of interest in the W900, with fans and collectors seeking out the model. Today, the Kenworth W900 from Smokey and the Bandit is remembered as more than just a film prop. It stands as an icon of 1970s cinema, trucking heritage, and the golden era of American road films.
