Intercity Buses: 1924-1970 Photo Archive - 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.
