Company history

A Connecticut company made some automobiles between 1912 and 1914 . The brand name was Kenwill , possibly Kenwell . Seven vehicles were registered in Connecticut during that period.

The owners of the vehicles were AB Clark from Milford , Jacob Saslow from Hamden and AL Smith from New Haven , each with one vehicle, and Fred T. Bradley from New Haven and Gordon Williams from Mount Carmel , each with two vehicles. Bradley was the treasurer and Williams' superintendent of a New Haven repair shop that dealt in vehicle parts.

One source speculates that the Ken in the brand name of William D. Kennedy of New Haven, who called himself an engineer, could have come. And that wants could stand for Gordon Williams.

vehicles

The vehicles had engines with 32, 36 and 40 hp .
