The Flxible New Look was a transit bus introduced in 1959 and built by the Flxible Company from 1960 until 1978, when it gave way to the 870 Advanced Design Bus. A total of 13,121 were manufactured. It shared many design features with the GM New Look bus, including the large six-piece fishbowl windshield, forward-slanting side windows and fluted aluminium siding, though it was somewhat more rugged, and it was commonly fitted with Detroit Diesel 6V-71 or 8V-71 engines, with Cummins engines as an alternative until 1973. Most were built at Loudonville, Ohio, shorter versions came from Evergreen, Alabama between 1963 and 1966, and the design was licensed to Canadair in 1965. In the 1960s Flxible was the only large-volume rival to General Motors in American transit buses.
