Can't wait for THAT
My Brothers and I would play hide n seek on the scenic cruiser.
And of course my Dad would every now and then bring a bus home to the hood. You know back when we still had neighborhoods. There would be 15 20 kids on the bus. Great memories. Thank you for sharing your post. 👍😎👍
Bro
U should be given an award
" The Finest Bus Designer of 21st Century"
This BUS is a Master PIECE
This has to be a labor of love. I remember as a kid in the 1950s riding in buses like this and I remember the name Flxible because of the funny spelling for flexible. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Flxible built buses for the old MTA/RTD in Los Angeles and liked their style. They built them solid back then...
He restores land yachts. Cool idea. Awesome 👌
Really impressive craftsmanship. I hope you get to return and see the finished result.
Wow, the owner of the couch is lucky to have guys like them to work on his bus
Truth
Unbeliveble how this 52-coach turned out to be an incredible nice today's coach allthough it looks from the outside still as an 1952 bus. Everything fits like a glove. Very nice craftswork. 1000 thumbs up for this work. I'm looking forward to see the endresult.
Beautiful rolling sculpture.
Hi tail custom coach really put the flexibility into that flex bus unbelievable. The woodwork alone is phenomenal the design of those bunkbeds are unheard of.. most awesome job guys.
I love the idea these older models are getting a second chance. Truly beautiful!
VERY COOL! Like #657. Lets go to 2000! I watch the ads, so that you get paid. Amazing!
Absolutely beautiful work of mobile art! Just love it.
I really like the RV but I love the bus conversions. The way these people take a bus 🚎 and make it a home is amazing. I really respect that you are showing people other renewable options to literally see their world!!
This is my favourite RV of all time!
Looking forward to see them Finish. this Beautiful Art Peace wow Amazing Details.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Very fun..road a bus like this in pep band and it was old then!! WOW!!!
True craftsmanship loved it brilliant from full lockdown in Victoria Australia 🇦🇺
It's a classic rv coach, but very modern like interior! Great job!👏😍
Don’t know how you find these gems of stories, people, and rigs. Well done yet again Andrew! You are very talented!
This is beautiful work done on a beautiful bus from the past. It is lovely to see such craftsmanship work. Can't wait to see the finished work.
What a work of art!! Absolutely beautiful
Oh yes please go back when the bus is finished. Look better than a new bus 👍👍😁😁
My favorite of your videos, Andrew....incredible craftsmanship
Aaron Newman - such a classy guy - artful designs, craftsman/artisans, industry connections - nostalgia with fine taste. Your business will thrive! The comments say it all: poetry in motion, Steinway, it’s Aaron’s vision, etc. Hats-off to a master!
Very kind. Thank you!
Agreed Jeffo...
Stunning. Love it. As silly as it is, that blue exterior paint and up in the driver’s area is my favorite.
These guys are doing some incredible fabrication work.
Wow, like the video & hats off to the Shop for the hard work!
Coolest, most artistic conversion I’ve ever seen. It has functionality I didn’t think was possible in such a small space. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Andrew truly found a diamond in the rough on this one.
Great video, Andrew. Wow...this is like both art and an orchestra!!
Incredible attention to detail on this project!!
Very cool, these guys are so talented! Great video!
Spectacular ! My favourite was then bunk beds and the polished steel tracks in beautiful wood wall that look like something out of a 1950's Pullman or Orient Express Wagon Lits luxury train car
When I hit the lottery! Wow what a beauty!
A child of the fifties here definitely wants to see the finshed product. What a beautiful dream!
The wood grain is spot on. Love the attention to detail.🌻🦊😄
My father drove these in the late 50's! Great find Andrew! And thank you for sharing!
I've learned so much from your channel, but this video is epic. Always thought Andrew you are living your passion, and these guys too are artists living their passion. Thanks for doing this.
Beautiful!
Again.....commenting before the video starts lol.....now that bus is just COOL 👍
WOW just amazing. the looks of everything just unbelievable vintage bus man That's awesome!!
WOW. Look so cool. Beautiful. Look like craftsmanship from 1952. The interior look like it could be bought in the 50'
Blown. Away.
These guys treated this baby with LOVE.
When a dream comes true and a vision becomes reality. This is special
A great deal craftsmanship .... that is super groovy... thank you again for sharing ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼🏁🏁
Probably one of your best videos. That restomod of the Flexible is top notch.
That is a really really nice bus. Love the fact that it looks stock outside. They didn’t fuck it up covering over the windows or cut holes in it.
One of your best videos. Hope we can see it when it's finished. The craftsmanship is something the big name converters could take a lesson from.
Wowwwww!!! Absolutely gorgeous! Please do a finished walkthrough! That paint job, the workmanship, the creativity... incredible. A masterpiece.
Just incredible! What talent! Awesome!
Hey! Looks like your heading back!
Sweet video, awesome custom Flxible bus. Thank you Aaron and Andrew for the tour. I can understand that the owner has a labor of love going there. Happy trails!
wow...this thing is AWESOME...love the fit and finish and most of all the LATE MODLE RUNNING GEAR AND SUSPENSION...AWESOME
Probably the best looking wood work I've ever seen! This is gorgeous! I can't wait to see the finished product!
Prevost should contact these guys. This is a beautiful project I don't think of it as being geeked out I look at it as updated. I really like the wood work. Thank you for sharing your video with us.
This is amazing. I love the nostalgia. It has a 1940' - 50's rail coach look an feel. 1st class all the way!
This thing is amazing. A vintage bus on a modern chassis with well thought out craftsmanship in the interior (really inside and out). That’s the coolest million dollar coach I’ve ever seen.
I hope they did not forget pulling power.that was the main thing when I purchased my motorcoach
That is a stunning coach. One of the best that you have ever featured on your channel. Andrew, please follow up with a Part II when they are complete🥇.
Fantastic work! I live it.
That was quite impressive unless you’re a woodworker it’s hard to appreciate all that specially work what a piece of art
Great work, I’ve been a high end craftsman for years and I would to have loved to worked on a project like this not so much for money but just art. Great job men.
So many things to like about this activity. The perfect match of owner, master craftsmen and project.
Credit also to Andrew. The way he conducts these tours/interviews is a real credit to him.
*I love this video, being a 70/yo entrepreneur having retired twice, as a ASE Certified Master Mechanic and Real Estate investor & company owner.* Great editing by the way, most people do not realize how many hours will go into a video like this.
And most folks do not realize how many hours go into a restoration of this caliber either but it’s worth every penny and minute in both regards tho!!!
It’s an absolutely stunning coach with a very nice video telling the story!
Take care out there and be safe Donald!
That is such an awesome bus. Best video yet. Keep up the great work Andrew.
The hideaway Dr. Who Tardis Doors are awesome. This is your best episode yet. Please post more vintage busses when you can find them.
It’s really inspirational wherever you are in the world. Definitely more needed to view. I’m hooked!
I’ve seen this bus and others Aaron has made/created. His talent is beyond any I’ve seen in a long time.
Amazing quality. Wish we saw the engine. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻
That's the level of workmanship I wised I had every time I ever endeavored to have for my entire life. Very Nice....
What a very nice renovation of a 1952 coach
I don't normally comment on videos but this is by far my favorite video that you have made. The flexible is one of my favorite buses. I've always wanted one as a kid and as an adult.
Absolutely beautiful coach, thank God, for the owners forethought in saving it. Fantastic workmanship.
Looks like you have another trip north Andrew!😁
He kind of surpassed the 2000 likes by a few there didn’t he Gene. Now I hope Andrew holds up to his end of the deal and give us the finished video!! This one is too nice not to see completely finished and ready to cruise.
I’d hate to have to start taking back 3000+ likes Andrew lol 🤪😜 please don’t make us do it buddy! 👊🏼
What an amazing and beautiful piece of artwork 😍❤️👌🏼Thanks for sharing this 🤙🏼 Looking forward to seeing the final product 🤩
Andrew this video some some of your best work yet!
Bad to the bone 🦴 love seeing the old girl brought back to life. Nicer than when it was brand new of the factory line. Good job guys!!!
Amazing guys
Outstanding restoration. The cabinet work is well thought through and we'll done.
As always, it is nicer than my home!
I love those vintage busses. The air scoop, turn signal arrowed lights and the metal wrap on the outside are gorgeous.
Stunning on all levels. Artistic poetry in motion like no other. Thank you everyone for allowing us to share precious moments of this incredible journey.
Cheers,
-Kent 🙂
unbelievably fantastic stupendous outstanding work what a dream these guys are providing . who doesn't want this . every mans dream is a classic car with modern reliability .
Just ran across this video looking at Flxible's. I owned and operated a high-tech engineering product design and develoment company for 41 years. I can say with authority that Highland Custon Coach is exceptional in creativity, craftsmanship and implemintation! Absolutely beautiful work! I know what it takes! Aaron, you're much too humble!
Truly a work of art. I can’t wait to see the finished product.
Love this type of stuff . You should do way more of these type of guy's/ builds.
I left Country Coach in 2004 after a little over five years. Never thought about getting back into that industry again, but this video has me interested. This place looks like they have it figured out. No cookie cutter same old same old day after day to the point where you don't even need to look at the prints because you've made that same coach countless times before. Very cool.
Stunning quality work! Just beautiful!
Love seeing true craftsmen and their projects!
Back in the 60s I was a bus driver at the Univ. of Michigan we had 3 Flexibles no fun to drive the shifting linkage would go bad so we had to climb underneath the bus to fix it so we can proceed onto the trip. This flex is so cool it makes me want to tour and drive it. All I can say is out standing and best Flex ever!
Ps great video Lary E
Looks amazing
Most impressive of all for me is the ground clearance this bus has. I really like the grain-matching work, too.
Next-level build. What a great company. Great guys too.
Super bus conversion Andrew. The human mind can develop and create almost anything. Aaron is a fine example of this. Thank you Andrew for the informative vid. Happy travels to Sadie and you.
That's one awesome 1952 flxible bus Andrew. He needs a sign on his shop that says "unique is what we seek, bazaar is what we are!" Love that bus. ✌👍
Looking forward to seeing the completion of this masterpiece!
Tight, nice to see home featured
Pretty cool!! I’m sure the Gadget Guru will be viewing!!!
Well done video. Nice to see the satisfaction and pride these two fellows have in their work. It is great to see this level of craftsmanship, especially in the faux fluted SS sides and the matched-grain cabinet veneer. I do wish you would have included some closeups of the sides so we could see exactly how the airbrushing you mentioned was done. It looks real to me, at least from a short distance away.
Also, perhaps there was some reason why the back was not opened, showing the engine compartment but if so, that should have been mentioned. Bet that was a pristine installation. Hopefully you have some “B” roll footage that could be spliced into this otherwise fantastic video. Many thanks.
You ought to have so many more views and likes on this video. Its well produced, and these guys do such amazing work.
YES IT IS ART WORK. BEAUTIFUL GREAT JOB. AWESOME.....👍👍
absolutely beautiful. If I had the money I'd much rather go with one of these over a factory-made piece of junk. I know there are some really good companies out there but these are like you say, when built, they have so much character.
Better than any production motor home on the market today!
Incredible content Andrew by far your best effort so cool nice job!!
Fantastic coach. It will be a lot of fun to drive!
