These Vintage buses need some 4sp ATs, not them PowerGlides.

@ACLTony Hey Tony, I was wrong, the older Flxibles had a FOUR piece window. Type in " 4727 at 79th Street Circle" and you will see it clearly. It's even still painted in the old green paint scheme.

@ACLTony I guess I've always been a N.Y.C. transit fan. Always loved looking at the buses( and subways) roll by and see the differences. I was probably 5 when I first got the bug for them but I'm almost sure the older Flxibles had the three piece window. The big center piece with the two small pieces at the ends ( at least I remember them having strips at the ends). If you find a good picture, let me know.

@vynilspinner - Hi. I used to work on them so many years ago. I remember that many of the late 60s-1972 Flxible New Looks had the large back window. But , I don't recall if it was one big piece, or one large center piece & two small end pieces. I've been googling photos of New Looks & did find lots of front and side shots, but haven't found any back shots of the units with large back windows. I'm going to continue searching as I'm sure there has to be some back view shots on the web. :-)

@ACLTony So the older Flxibles had the larger three piece window? I remember seeing the differences but was too young to understand why. I also remember seeing some (but very few) without the A/C unit out on top.

It's like they painted the front of the bus to look like a cartoon line drawing of the front of a bus.
Go to 0:05 and pause.

Unlike a fishbowl being built like an aircraft inside out side skin riveted together on "stays" making a structural wall and the floor and roof making it an integral body construction, a Flxible has what they call a skeleton which is tubular and plating welded making a "space frame" and the skin is riveted on the plates and so is not part of the structure, and the skin is thinner. I own a Flx newlook and been in the walls floor and roof when restoring it.
