History   In 1976 Louis Bruce Pence designed and built his first trolley bus at Lazy N, Inc. a manufacturing company he and his wife Louella Pence owned and operated. The trolley buses were designed in replica of the nostalgic streetcars of the early 1900’s. Bruce created a trolley bus for modern mass transit use, with the quality of old fashioned craftsmanship, using red oak, vintage styled cast aluminum seats ends, brass railings and other ornate detailing. In 1991 Bruce and Louella retired from the manufacturing business. Double K, Inc. was incorporated by Kevin and Kristina Pence and continues to manufacture trolley buses with the same design principles, work ethics and commitment to quality. In 1998 Kevin Pence left the company to pursue his now successful racing career. Kristina Pence-Dunow continues to own and operate Double K, Inc.   The location of satisfied customers ranges from Boston, MA to Anaheim, CA; Banff, Canada, to Venezuela, South America and Puerto Rico. There are over 400+ trolleys manufactured and delivered to satisfied customers since 1976.   Double K, Inc.’s Hometown trolley buses are custom built by skilled craftsmen, to the specifications of our customers. Double K, Inc. can produce a trolley to accommodate all levels of transportation needs; small private touring companies, to major city transportation needs. Our trolleys combine the nostalgic past of a 1900’s streetcar with today’s transit technology. Double K, Inc. can also produce our trolleys on chassis equipped with alternative fuel systems, such as propane or CNG fuel.   In 2002 Double K, Inc. began an extensive marketing plan targeted to bring a new image to the trolleys branding the product as “Hometown Trolleys”. The two models are the front engine Villager and the rear engine Mainstreet. A dealer network was set up to increase sales and provide local service to established customers. Double K, Inc. is a certified WBE/DBE business. Double K, Inc. is a member of APTA, CTAA, NEPTA, UITP and other international and nationwide transportation associations.
