Is this bus for sale? It is almost exactly like my 1953---37 ft. long, converted to a motorhome when new so mine has much different interior. There is a bedroom and bathroom etc, very early factory motorhome. Tell me more about this bus, where it is, is it running, where can it be seen, etc. Mine has a 560 cu. in. ford coupled to an allison trans. Do you know what engine is in this Flxible?
Thanks, Smitty

Smitty,

The photos you see of the Flxble above were captured on videotape by me back in 1994 at a Gathering of Buses in Harrisburg, PA.

Can't recall for sure, but I think it had a Buick engine. I'm not really a Flxible fan, but this bus was beautiful inside and out.

Feel free to send over photos and descriptions of your bus to submit@classicbusdepot.com and I'll post it on this site.

My son and I saw a vintage bus sitting in a golf course parking lot and my son commented to me that he was surprised that someone wasn't restoring these old buses for RV's. Well after seeing the movie RV where there is a Flxible Clipper featured I started think that I might want to try and find one of these vintage buses and restore it as a RV. Where can I find information on where I can buy one for restoration and has anyone documented the processes? How do you know if the motor is restorable and if the chassis is roadworthy? I am about 16 monhts away from retirement from the local Fire Dept so a project like this would be exciting and fun. Any information would be helpful. Thanks

Hope the upcoming Corgi diecast replica does it justice!

My Brother's and I have 1947 Flxible Clipper For Sale that was a GoodYear Bimp Bus when new! If we can't find a buyer, we will part it out and scrap it. She does Need a bit Love and Work, but she is Restoreable, it was converted into a Country Band Motor-Home Bus, and later redone again.

I have a 1942 Flxible bus. It used to be a Geyhound in the Bay Area. I've had it since I was a kid, my daddy bought it off the lines for me at my request. He spoiled me, and he was rich. It's the Yellow Submarine.. It's had a rich life, used as the lunch wagon on family gatherings, and loaning it to the Beatles was fun.. Such is the logo.. Email me an address and I can send some photos. My cousin Lowell teases me over it, because I put his bus' plates on my bus. His is a '45, duh, the dash is different and the VINs won't match his paperwork, of course. Love him, but...

My Father had a 1942 Flxible. He would take us traveling across the country every Summer. We would travel to the Family Motor Coach Association conventions (they were called bus meets back then because there were no motor homes). His FMCA # was 1029, now they are in the 500,000's. I was young but still have good memories of it. He sold it in the early '70s to a local musical band. We saw it once after that, the inside was gutted and the outside was painted an awful light brown.
Joyce, I'd love to see pic's of your 42 Flxible. Let me know if I can get ahold of them. Thanx!

This is a beautiful bus. I wish I could get my hands on it. Sadly our public transit TARC(.org) is trying to scrap the Flxibles we have, can't let that happen. They deserve better.

I've been living in my '46 Flxi since '81- I'm Emailing you from the back bed right now--

I would like to find a flexible shorty bus to buy. Seated preferably. If you know of one pleasde contact me. Thanks

My brother has purchased a '41 Flxible bus that is MISSING the Eagle Crest on the front, under the windshield. I'd like to find him a replacement for a Christmas present. Anyone have a lead to finding a replacement? Thanks! Tim

There was a guy in Orange County, CA, who had a whole fleet of '47 through early '50s Clippers...Thompson Transportation. He repowered them all with GMC ToroFlows with 5 speeds. They were beautifully detailed and upholstered. Never heard what happened to him or his Flxies. Word got out that his service was unpopular with groups because of low seat capacity and no A/C.
