It was founded in 1913 and closed in 1996. The company's production transitioned from highway coaches and other products to transit buses over the period 1953–1970, and during the years that followed, Flxible was one of the largest transit-bus manufacturers in North America. For auction, a 1947 Flxible 29 B1-47 transit bus with unknown mileage. “When most people think of a Flxible Clipper, they are thinking of one that was made from late 1946 until 1967. That's when the trademark “smiley face” front end was introduced. It featured a dual headlamp design, curved “panoramic” windshields, (a Flxible patented innovation), and a flat dashboard.” Flxibleowners.org PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is being auctioned remotely for the AACA Museum Collection in Hershey, PA.

Luggage shelves line bone sides under a curved wooden ceiling. The aisle is lined with a tan rubberized mat.  Drivetrain On board is a 320ci Fireball OHV V8 rated at 144 horsepower and fueled via a 2-barrel carburetor.
