Stevep Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Took a road trip today with my new camera.... found some nice old buses. Flxible Clipper - still a seated bus! A Western Flyer Courier Skyview - Brewster colors still showing. A Western Flyer deck and a half - if the book is correct only 4 of these were built. A retired Greyhound. Another Clipper.

Board Admin A. Wong Posted January 16, 2010 Board Admin Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 A Western Flyer deck and a half - if the book is correct only 4 of these were built. Wow, I wonder if that was the same one that was in Edmonton... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevep Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Wow, I wonder if that was the same one that was in Edmonton... I wondered that too as last time I went by the location in Edmonton it was gone. So it must be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Parsons Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Took a road trip today with my new camera.... found some nice old buses. I like your road trips! I wondered that too as last time I went by the location in Edmonton it was gone. So it must be. The buses in the pics do look quite similar, although, the one you found doesn't have anything over the windshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevep Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I like your road trips!The buses in the pics do look quite similar, although, the one you found doesn't have anything over the windshield. I wonder if the front windows were covered in Edmonton to prevent people shooting pellet guns at it? If only 4 were made and as this one is the same colour, it has to be. Also look just below the driver's mirror on your picture, you can see a bit of orange paint at the same height as the orange name paint on the one I found. Just too much of a coincidence otherwise for me. Can anyone confirm only 4 of these made? Good shots, the interior of the Flix still looks great in that bronze/copper colour eh?That hound looks like she is still in pretty good shape So what did you pick up for a new camera? That Flx would be a great restoration candidate. Yes, that hound looks gorgeous. It is well cared for by the look of things. I got an Olympus SP-590UZ. It's one of the compact types, but 12 Megapixels and a 26X optical zoom. My older Sony had a 15X optical zoom. This new one can sure bring things in from a long a way off.
