Flxible Starliner

Buses and Road Mass Transit Vehicles

The Flxible Starliner was an intercity coach that the Flxible Company of Loudonville, Ohio introduced in 1957. It looked much like the Visicoach but rode on torsion bars, a system Flxible called Flxilastic, which made it the smoothest-driving of the Clipper-style bodies. Only 276 Starliners were produced between 1957 and 1967, after which Flxible stopped building buses on the Clipper-style body. Early cars had a raised eyebrow window in the roof, and around 1960 the design changed to a flat roof with side windows three inches taller. Underfloor baggage bays were an option, and like the Clipper and Visicoach, many surviving Starliners have been converted to motorhomes.
