The Flxette was a small, 19 passenger, high floor transit bus built by Flxible. They were built on a Ford chassis and assembled at the former Southern Coach Manufacturing Co. plant in Evergreen, Alabama. Around 1976-78 the model was sold to Leisure Time Products to continue production of the Flxette using either a Ford or Chevrolet chassis. Side window style could be either angled or straight, and some units were build with a second set of doors behind the right rear wheels.
Flxible offered the Flxette as a smaller alternative to their 30 foot conventional transit bus offering. The model was often used for light transit routes, dial-a-bus operations, and shuttle services.
