The Flxible New Looks were delivered in 1975 thru 1978

They were known as our numbers 1200-1249, 1500-1522, and 2600-2619.

All had 8V71 Detroit Diesel Engines.

These buses were well liked by the operators and passengers, and usually didnt have much in the line of problems. They look strikingly like the GM Fishbowl that was running in the same timeframe.

Lets Go view some of these!
