Flxible Intercity Buses 1924-1970 Photo Archive
Stock #: KB10316
Author: William A. Luke

List Price: $29.95
Karen's Price: $27.95

Hugo Young founded the Flxible Side Car Company in 1913 in Loudonville, Ohio. In the early 1920s, the mass production of automobiles lowered their cost to the point where sidecar-equipped motorcycles could no longer compete. The Flxible Company used this challenge as an opportunity to enter the bus-building business. The first Flxible bus was built in 1924, and was among only a few Flxibles built in the 1920s. The real boost in Flxible's bus production came in 1936 with the introduction of the Flxible Airway coach, mounted on a Chevrolet truck chassis. Read about and view photos of the Flxible Airway coaches and other Flxible intercity buses like the Clipper, Visicoach, C-37, Starliner, Vistaliner, Hi-level models, Flxliner, and more. more»

Welcome Aboard the GM New Look Bus: An Enthusiast's Reference
Stock #: KB10320
Author: McKane & Squier

List Price: $32.95
Karen's Price: $29.95

The Truck & Coach Division of General Motors developed many designs that became industry standards. Arguably, the most notable design was the series known as the New Look bus for transit and suburban service. It first appeared in 1959, and the design was quite a radical departure from the models GM had produced since 1940. The New Look design continued in production basically unchanged for over 27 years, and didn't receive a face-lift until 1995 (that being the Classic produced in Canada). In many ways, it truly was the first ''ADB,'' Advanced Design Bus. This is the story of how the New Look bus came to be, a discussion of its construction, and the many variations that comprised the New Look series. more»
