The Flxible VistaLiner, designated VL-100, was a two-level intercity coach built by the Flxible Company of Loudonville, Ohio. Flxible introduced it in late 1954 and made the first delivery in 1955, to the Blue and White Lines of Altoona, Pennsylvania. It was a clear departure from the Clipper line, with torsilastic springs, independent front suspension, air conditioning, comfortable seating and individual loudspeakers for recorded music, and the company called it the King of the Highway. The aim was to give operators a coach that could compete with other forms of intercity travel. Surviving VistaLiners are among the non-Clipper Flxible coaches that owners still maintain and run, and most of those coaches have been converted to motor homes.
