GM's had rubber weatherstripping separating the windscreen parts while Flxibl had metal between the glass pieces Looking in a book about buses that I have the official model name is "New Look" -- Last edit: 2013-10-25 13:58:22

owlman ◊ 2011-03-15 14:39	Maybe not, but as I recall it was visible in the background for several seconds Do you think this is really Dina? It's certainly possible, based on their licensing with Flxible, but I have only seen Dina buses based off the Flxiliner design not this style.
mp775 ◊ 2014-12-18 17:20	I stand corrected; it's not Dina. The body is a Casa Vitrina.
mp775 ◊ 2014-12-19 13:12	Did a little more reading on the subject - "Vitrina" ("showcase") is not a model name, but a nickname for the body style, similar to "New Look" or "Fishbowl" in the U.S.
