Buses of ACF Photo Archive - Including ACF-Brill and CCF-Brill

American Car and Foundry (ACF), a pioneer transportation manufacturer, came into existence in 1899 as a result of the merger of 13 railroad-manufacturing companies.
After a complicated transaction in the mid-1920s, ACF had control of the Brill Corp., Hall-Scott Motor Co., and Fageol Motors Co. From the beginning, ACF built both intercity and transit buses.

ACF began to capture large orders for intercity buses, especially when the National Trailways Bus System was formed. Sharp black & white photos with in-depth captions combine to capture this important part of bus history.

Fageol & Twin Coach Buses 1922-1956 Photo Archive

An innovator in the bus business, Fageol was the first company to build a bus from the ground up, and it was called the Safety Coach. Later, in 1927, the Fageol brothers sold out and began Twin Coach.
They then built the Model 40 Twin Coach - a twin-engine city bus that began the city bus business. This bus operated for up to 20 years in many cities - a rarity at the time. In 1960, Twin Coach was bought by Flxible.

Period photos, with detailed captions, tell the story of these buses. This is a book that bus enthusiasts won't want to miss.

Buses of Western Flyer and New Flyer Industries Photo Archive

Western Flyer Auto & Truck Body Works began producing buses in 1930 and after many name-changes continues today as New Flyer Industries. Because the company served Canada and much of North America, the buses were built to stand up to the harsh winter climates they had to operate in.
This revered bus builder has become one of the dominant players in the transit bus manufacturing industry in North America, and a leader in hybrid bus manufacturing in the U.S. and Canada. New Flyer has been named as one of Canada's most earth-friendly employers for 2008.

From breaking new ground with low-floor buses to pioneering cleaner propulsion systems, innovation and excellence have taken New Flyer to the top of the industry.

Large format vintage photographs and concise, informative captions tell the story of this innovative company and the buses it designed and built.
Bus historians and enthusiasts will all find this book both informative and entertaining.
