5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book on a fabled bus maker Flxible, May 3, 2008
By B.X.L. (Los Angeles, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This is a great book for an American bus fan or Flxible bus fan. Using pictures and captions, Mckane details the history of Flxible from its infancy, when it was a motorcycle sidecar maker, to the time they close, in the early 1990s from bankruptcy. Flxible buses are slowly fading away from everyday use, but you can still find many of their last design, the Flxible 870/Metro plying the streets in many cities, including New Jersey and Chicago. This book has some great pictures of rare bus photos, like the Chicago CTA bus w/ the Twin bus body and "New Look" front that was later developed into the "New Look" series of Flxible transit buses of the 1960s and 1970s, the only serious competitor to the more prevalent GMC "New Look" fishbowl bus. There's also many pictures of their last model, the Flxible 870/Metro. Bus liveries of big and small cities are represented. This is currently the definitive picture book on Flxible transit buses. I doubt if anyone will ever write another book about this defunct bus company. Thank you Mr. McKane. You have been immortalized!
