Flxible Twin

The Flxible Twin, designated the FT, was the transit bus that Flxible of Loudonville, Ohio, built after it took over the city-bus side of the Fageol Twin Coach Company in the early 1950s. Flxible Owners International describes how the two companies first cooperated on a large army contract and how Twin Coach then chose to concentrate on trucks and aircraft parts, leaving Flxible with sole interest in the city bus product line. That led to Flxible's first big city transit contract, 300 buses for the Chicago Transit Authority, with deliveries flowing from the Loudonville plant from 1954. The FT carried the Twin Coach layout forward under Flxible ownership and preceded the New Look transit coach that replaced it.
