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 and see 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.

This review is from: Flxible Intercity Buses: 1924-1970 Photo Archive (Paperback)
This book is not what I expected. Contents 99% collection of
black&white postcardlike pictures. No interior pictures or written technical info. I paid USD 38.93 incl. overseas shipping-charge to The Netherlands, however, USD 10.00 should be the max I should pay for it in any book-outletstore. CJ van Toorn Amsterdam, the Netherlands
