1978 Flxible 45096 City Transit Bus Rockford Illinois Transit System

Attached is a photo of what we lovingly call "The World's Largest SUV", a 1978 Flxible model 45096 city transit bus. The vehicle was originally owned by the Rockford Illinois transit system. It came to Atlanta for the 1996 Olympic games and liked the weather too much to go home.



The bus is now owned and operated by Boy Scout Troop 518 of Suwanee, Georgia. The interior was modified with desks for the Scoutmaster anthe exterior painted by the donor, John Adams Transportation.



It runs great and we’ve actually had to do very little except change the fluids. When we received the SUV it still had the coin box. Our latest project is to reprogram the flip-dot destination display to flash the Scout Law!
