How about on page 6, 5th bus down, white over light blue with the quad set of windows, 2x2 on the right side.

What do the extra windows do?

Nels Hagen has a beautiful yellow FLEX VL-100. Sorry I do not know where any pictures of it are. He has a board also, but in respect to I@N, I will not post the address. It really is prettier than a Scenicruiser in my opinion.

There have been some really "easy on the eyes" buses built over the years. Among them ... Flex Clippers and Flex VL-100, ACF Brill, GM silverside, GMC scenicruiser. If restored with care, they retain the classic Art Deco look that (at least to me) says "BUS" and brings back memories of days gone by. I own none of the above but will forever remain an ardent admirer of "the look". Last summer while out in my yard messing with tree trimming, I heard a familiar droaning sound overhead ... looked up just in time to see a beautiful, highly polished DC-3 glide by. Almost brought tears to my eyes to be able to once again see the queen of classic airliners.
