Flxible Visicoach

Buses and Road Mass Transit Vehicles

The Flxible Visicoach was an intercity motor coach built by the Flxible Company of Loudonville, Ohio, from 1950 to 1956. It was a redevelopment of the Clipper, keeping the same rounded rear and general body shape while adding about three inches of interior headroom, twelve inches of extra length in the engine compartment and side windows roughly twice as wide as the Clipper had, which is where the name comes from. The body was a stressed-skin aluminium monocoque riveted to a lattice of hoops and frame rails, so the coach was light for its length. Flxible built 925 Visicoaches, which rode on leaf springs, and a large share of the survivors were later converted into motorhomes. Some reference lists give the end of production as 1958 rather than 1956.
