traildriver Posted May 14, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 14, 2011 Whatever happenned to AM General? I recall their 10240 model seemed popular in the mid to late '70's, and then they gave up the business. Was the bus that bad? I know NYC never bought any, but other places seemed to like them... If you go to the web site of the current AM General, they have a corporate history section, but the bus manufacturing is conspicuously absent from any mention. Wikipedia has a brief paragraph on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traildriver Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks much for that most informative link. If you look at the present company's site, you'd think that they would rather the world forget about that important part of their history, as they refuse to acknowledge its existance.

RailBus63 Posted May 15, 2011 Share #4 Posted May 15, 2011 Interestingly enough, the last management team at AM General bus unit were the ones who bought Flxible from Grumman in the early 1980's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTSbook Posted June 16, 2011 Share #5 Posted June 16, 2011 Interestingly enough, the last management team at AM General bus unit were the ones who bought Flxible from Grumman in the early 1980's. And then misappropriated money until the entire GAC consortium and Flxible itself went bankrupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
